I'm all for sml-mode (and while we're at it, we might want to do
O'Caml as well). I'm less sure about Haskell mode, as there are 3 or
4 popular Haskell modes out there, and this particular one is often a
royal pain. If we do include it, I think I have the minor patches
required to make it work.
Ok. I tried out packaging sml-mode but found that it doesn't work (with
XEmacs) out of the box, looks like it is at least missing some
autoloads;
File mode specification error: (void-variable sml-font-lock-defaults)
I'll take a closer look at it.
I had better luck with xslide and haskell-mode (the one mentioned above)
but as I am not familiar with Haskell at all, I can't verify much of the
functionality. Basically what I can do with the mode is to load a file
and see that indentation and font-locking /seem/ to work (which do so).
xslide works fine.
I'd be happy to include your haskell-mode patches in the upcoming new
package or try to package some other of the haskell-modes out there,
pointers welcome.
BTW; how does one submit a new package? Just a big patch to
xemacs-patches, I guess...
