Hi - this kind of sank without a trace last time I posted it, and it's
been a couple of months, so I thought I'd post it again to see if there
was any interest this time around. Apologies if this is considered bad 
manners.

Subject: patch: make hexl mode support 8, 32 and 64 bit groups

The hexl binary supports 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit groups, but hexl mode
currently only supports 16 bit groups.

This patch adds support (controlled by a custom item, `hexl-bits')
for the other group sizes.

Oh, and there was a minor bug in hexl-scroll-up (and -down) which meant it
scrolled by one line too many (didn't take account of the ruler line) by
default, so you'd miss one line of data if you weren't careful.

Change log entry included.

+	* hexl.el: lift the "16 bit grouping only" restriction: mostly this 
+	involves tracking down all the code that ssumes a hardwired bit
+	grouping of 16 in various layout/offset calculations.
+	(hexl-bits): new custom option to control the bit grouping in the 
+	hexlified buffer.
+	(hexl-options): doc update mentioning `hexl-bits'.
+	(hexl-rulerise): function to create basic rulers for each bit grouping.
+	(hexl-rulers): variable to hold bit grouping -> ruler map.
+	(hexl-line-displen): work out the display length bases on `hexl-bits'.
+	(hexl-mode): doc update mentioning `hexl-bits'.
+	(hexl-mode): max-address calculated using `hexl-line-displen'.
+	(hexl-current-address): current-column from `hexl-line-displen'.
+	(hexl-current-address): hexl-address from `hexl-ascii-start-column'.
+	(hexl-ascii-start-column): derive ascii start column from `hexl-bits'.
+	(hexl-address-to-marker): incorporate `hexl-bits' into calculation.
+	(hexl-beginning-of-line): derive from `hexl-line-displen'.
+	(hexl-scroll-down): ruler means window-height -2 should be used, not -1
+	(hexl-scroll-up): ditto
+	(hexl-options): use `hexl-bits' to get the correct command line options
+	(hexlify-buffer): use `hexl-options' function mentioned above.
+	(dehexlify-buffer): ditto.
+	(hexl-insert-char): use `hexl-line-displen' and 
+	`hexl-ascii-start-column' in position calculations.
+	(hexl-follow-ascii-find): use `hexl-ascii-start-column' in calculations.
+	(hexl-mode-ruler): use new rulers from `hexl-rulers'.
