[Francesco Potorti` <pot@gnu.org>] etags

As described in the attached messages, Francesco has improved etags. Ben Wing has been doing a fair amount of work on etags, but he's gone on vacation so it's unlikely he'll be able to do anything until mid-August. We would be very happy to have tester reports. Send reports on etags itself directly to Francesco. Our etags.el differs quite a bit from GNU Emacs's; please send reports on use of Francesco's etags.el patch to xemacs-beta as well as to Francesco, so that we'll know if it works or not. Somebody in the core _should_ try it, but you know how rare those round tuits are.... There has been some discussion of replacing our etags.el with that of GNU Emacs. I don't know the current state of that idea, but anybody who is willing to experiment with it gets double gold stars for reporting.
