You'd really have to do that formally, as otherwise managing the sub-libraries would be a mess for new users. We also were working on custom themes. This would make it possible to do a lot of the sample initializations as (more or less) invertible themes, selectable from the menu. But we're short on manpower for both of those right now; the guy who was working on custom themes went and got a day job. Ben, who heavily revised sample.init.el in the first place, doesn't consider it a terribly high priority, and he's never made a package himself. So it will probably remain a monolith until somebody else picks it up and runs with it. Jeff> The sample.init.el has various grep commands - like Jeff> 'grep-all-files-in-current-directory'. Is there a reason Jeff> why the igrep package is not being used? Maybe igrep Jeff> doesn't do the recursive grep command? Maybe it wasn't available when Ben wrote the functions originally. Or maybe he considers them sufficiently simple and useful to make good examples despite the existence of the package. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
