better .dir-locals

better .dir-locals

[andrea crotti]

I'm trying to find a better way to define variables that are specific to
certain projects.

At the moment I'm using .dir-locals, but the problem with that is that
I didn't find a way to extend other .dir-locals, so each of them down
the tree should contain everything.

1. is there a way to extend another one explicitly
2. any other suggested way to accomplish similar things?

For example I would like to set some variables depending on the path,
it could be something like:

/path/to/proj: (variable some-value)

And so on, any advices?

    ede could probably be an idea. But ede version currently
  embedded in emacs is perhaps not fully functional and the
  last devlopment version in cedet is probably better.
