[PATCH] gnu: Add emacs-sx.

I was wondering what the emacs/sx branch was I had... and it seems it was
functional since september, totally forgot about this :)
This patch adds an stack exchange mode for emacs, where you can browse
all of stackexchange with:

I can only repeat that we don't use tarballs from MELPA.  See:

Yikes. Thanks!
I forget this so often that I think we should change the elpa
importer for --archive=melpa to reflect this OR print a note on
this (for example lint).
I will send in a new patch.

So are you going to use this email now?  ".mailmap" still prefers
<ng0@libertad.pw>.

All emacs dependencies should be propagated, otherwise the package will
not work.

Also for those who may wonder, there are a lot of errors like this:

  sx-method.el:33:1:Error: Creating directory: No such file or directory, /homeless-shelter/.emacs.d/.sx

This leads to many uncompiled elisp files.  This issue is fixed in
master so it should be OK in the next release:

I am slowly fading out the use of my own domains as I see no
point in paying money for names. Yesterday I have switched all
the gnu.org lists to this email. The commits still happen with
the @libertad.pw adress, I see the copyright lines as contact
information. Some people I know don't use email addresses for
commits for example.
I will update the .mailmap later this year, at the point where I
make my commits with this email address.
Older commits I am working on for some time now still carry
various other emails, like the one you commited with emacs-sx.

Okay, I did not know that. Does the importer know about this?

Did this occur when using the application? For me it worked, but
I have no StackExchange account, so I just searched and read a
bit, and no errors occured.

All I wanted to say is that multiple elisp files were not compiled (look

can't make an emacs package fail in any way, it will still work but
using ".el" files instead of ".elc".
