Re: Dynamically deriving major mode from prog-mode or fundamental-mode

OK, so let's Just Do It, then. The existence of prog-mode doesn't
mean we have to fix all of our other modes to use it immediately, it
seems.
If you want to help with that, you could try pulling GNU's prog-mode
into your XEmacs load-path (in a new file if "prog-mode.el" doesn't
exist), and see if anything horrible happens.
You could even take control of the situation by becoming the prog-mode
maintainer for the XEmacs package system. This amounts to
1. promising to respond to reports related to prog-mode on xemacs-beta
and the tracker, and
2. giving us appropriate contact addresses so we and XEmacs users can
find you "in the usual place" (ie, <prog-mode-bugs(a)xemacs.org>, among
others).
