Ah. I had forgotten about that; I posted a patch, I guess I assumed
everyone was using that.

Yes, I'll try to get to it this weekend.

No, Emacs CVS is far behind the version on my website. I was waiting
for the release of Emacs 22 before updating; that has _still_ not
happened. The release process for Emacs is very confused; no one is
sure what's going on. However, the CVS branch for the release has been
made, and it does appear that the CVS head is now open for
development. So I should get my latest version into Emacs CVS.

I use my Ada mode with Emacs CVS, so that is the one you should use.

Note that since the CVS head is now open for development, they will
be doing lots of stuff that may break basic operations. So it is best
to use the Emacs 22 branch (CVS tag EMACS_22_BASE) if you are checking
out from CVS. That branch has my Ada mode from last September, which
is when they announced a feature freeze for the release. Which they
then ignored, but that's another story.

I did ask; I'll try again. Thanks for the reminder.
