haskell-mode
haskell-mode.el contains a Mule-only feature (a coding cookie as a
file-local variable). This patch removes that coding cookie, making
it possible to build haskell-mode under no-Mule XEmacs 21.5. The
alternative is to move haskell-mode to mule-packages, which is stupid.
(True, no-Mule 21.5 should not crash here, but that's not the point;
even if it didn't, it still couldn't do anything sensible with a
coding cookie, so having a cookie is a bug outside of mule-packages.
<RANT>Actually, IMHO, having a cookie is a bug, period....</RANT>)
From the point of view of many users of non-Western-European 8-bit
coding-systems under Mule, the package will actually work better this
way, as their favorite coding system suddenly will acquire a
more-or-less sane syntax table. Another way to put this is that
haskell-mode is currently broken under all non-ISO-8859-1 locales, and
this makes it a little better. :-)
My apologies to Mats for taking so long to diagnose this. With this
change, we should be able to reenable the 21.5-nomule smoke test.
Jerry, do you have any objections?
