Done. Uploaded new version.

I think there's still a behaviour bug related to the python
version. The C version always seems to append a trailing \n, which
sometimes adds that extra line after Setedit's selection.

WRT integrating it under contrib, do you want it to compile or is
it enough if you just added directly the `c' directory as is? Want
me to write some additional documentation, or point from it to
setedit's manual (which still contains the python version embedded).

Wall time clock. Using `time email-fmt < allegro._tx > /dev/null'
takes about half second. Opening the file, selecting everything and
running the filter takes about 23 seconds on my machine, much much
more with the python version (which is about 5 times slower than C).
