edit-utils/crm.el (completing-read-multiple) in XEmacs
[ I've suggested to add `crm.el' (completing-read-multiple) which is
available in Emacs 21 and Emacs 22 (CVS[2]) to XEmacs on xemacs-beta.
Please keep <auctex-devel(a)gnu.org> in Cc when replying. ]

Thank you for your response. I've done some testing with XEmacs
21.4.15:
`crm.el' from Emacs 21 (21.3 or 21.4) works without any modifications
in XEmacs. The version from Emacs 22 (CVS) uses the function
`minibuffer-prompt-end' (a `diff -w -u' of those versions is
attached), a built-in function in Emacs 22, not present in XEmacs.
AfAICS, it would be sufficient if you'd include the Emacs 21 version
of `crm.el' in edit-utils. [My understanding is, that XEmacs users
(regardless whether they use a recent XEmacs 21.4 or XEmacs 21.5)
would then just need to upgrade the edit-utils package to get this.
Please CMIIW.]
It would be great if you could include `crm.el' in the next packages
updates. TIA.

If you want to help something to get done a lot faster, you can post
a full patch (in the case of a new file, either a patch against
/dev/null or the file as an attachment is OK), with appropriate
XEmacs-format changelog, to XEmacs Patches
<xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org>.
Attached is revision 1.5 [2] from Emacs CVS plus the update of FSF
address (done in revision 1.8 in Emacs CVS). The changes from
revision 1.6 and 1.7 cannot be applied because XEmacs doesn't have
`minibuffer-prompt-end'. I propose to add the attached file to the
edit-utils package as suggested by Ben.

* crm.el: New file. Revison 1.5 of lisp/emacs-lisp/crm.el in
Emacs. Update FSF's address.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
An analysis of any extra work needed to make the package compatible
with both XEmacs 21.4 (preferably tested with the most recent release,
but that's not absolutely necessary) and XEmacs 21.5 (tested with CVS
head by preference, or at least the most recent beta release) is very
helpful. (For example, the information you posted in response to Ben
in <v9wtk4a86h.fsf(a)marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de> later in this thread is
excellent.)
I've tested the attached version of `crm.el' with these versions of
XEmacs:
"XEmacs 21.5 (beta18) \"chestnut\" (+CVS-20041021) [Lucid]
(i386-suse-linux, Mule) of Tue Mar 22 2005 on mozart"
"XEmacs 21.4 (patch 15) \"Security Through Obscurity\" [Lucid]
(x86_64-suse-linux, Mule) of Fri Feb 11 2005 on helvede"
Sorry, I didn't download an compile a XEmacs 21.5 or the most recent
beta release. But I think it's quite unlikely that `crm.el' wont work
with current CVS. Maybe people using current XEmacs from CVS and/or
current AUCTeX[3] from CVS could report success or problems. There
are some testing examples at the end of `crm.el'.
Bye, Reiner.
