Hi Lluís,

The only bits I was going to merge from Emacs back to CEDET were 
functional code and doc changes.  The file names and compilation changes 
I was going leave alone.  I was going to leave all the menu changes and 
stuff alone too unless there are spelling fixes or something like that.

Looking through a couple logs, I found updates to doc strings in 
particular, and a couple functional bits as well that were worthwhile. 
I don't yet know the full extent of those changes.

I have a small script I've been working in cedet/cedet-ediff.el that 
I've used to merge some items back already.  I don't have a good idea on 
how to detect changes I actually need yet other than to look at each 
one, or rummage through all the changelogs. :(

If you want to take on such a task, that would be great.  Just let me 
know so we don't do duplicate work.

Me too.  It will be fun to get back to stuff like that.
