[AUCTeX-devel] cmr.el (completing-read-multiple) in XEmacs

[Reiner Steib]

Hi,

Arne Jørgensen wrote improved completing support for inserting stuff
like "\usepackage[bar,baz,zab]{foo}" in AUCTeX.  The function needs
`completing-read-multiple' from `crm.el'[1] which is available in
Emacs 21 and Emacs 22 (CVS[2]), but not in XEmacs.

We found that `riece.el'[3] which is available as an XEmacs package
seems to duplicate some code from `crm.el' for XEmacs.

Wouldn't it make much more sense to include `crm.el' in `xemacs-base',
some utility package or distribute it as a separate package instead of
duplicating it's code in several packages?

Bye, Reiner.
