Apparently, my last message didn't make it to the linux-kernel
list. <sigh> I've noticed in the Documentation/CodingStyle document
that the LISP stuff required to getting Emacs to auto-indent C code
is no longer correct as of Emacs 19.31. Apparently, the cc-mode.el
stuff has been enhanced in the newer Emacs versions, causing
incompatibilities with old cc-mode configuration settings. In fact,
I even saw a little bit of documentation for cc-mode in the latest
version of Emacs for Windows NT.
Since I'm not an ELISP expert, a well-knowing hacker might want
to fix this particular problem in the CodingStyle doc.
