[Erc-help] [PATCH] (erc-process-sentinel): add customizable option to close server buffers automatically, code cleanup

[Michael O. <big...@ya...>]

I've enclosed a patch to erc.el which does the following things:

- Add a new configurable variable called
  `erc-kill-server-buffer-on-quit' that defaults to nil

- Significant rewrite of erc-process-sentinel.  I split off some of
  the code into erc-process-sentinel-1 in order to make it more
  readable.

- Modify erc-process-sentinel to mark server buffers as unread so that
  they are easier to kill manually.

- Modify erc-process-sentinel to insinuate the new
  `erc-kill-server-buffer-on-quit' option.

- Colorize the disconnect and finished messages.

- Kill the last ERC prompt in the server buffer before displaying the
  message(s).

The only unresolved issue with the patch is that XEmacs apparently
complains when I try to kill the prompt.  bpalmer from #emacs is
working on that.  Apparently XEmacs seems to have another layer of
complexity in that it can have a non-read-only buffer with read-only
text.

Kudos to jbms and bpalmer from #emacs for the help.
