Re[2]: speeding up variable loading

The only solution to this problem that I can see is to provide a
custom-set function for JDEE variables that updates the dirty variable
list whenever the user customizes a variable during a session. Since
the custom-set function is also invoked by the defcustom macro to set
the variable s default value, the JDEE's custom-set function would
have to detect that it is being invoked by a defcustom macro and not
update the dirty variable list. This change will require adding the
set function to every defcustom form in the JDEE code base but is
probably worth it.

Hi Paul,

  You may want to create a macro defjdeoption other other specific
name for any variable that is part of a project, and reserve defcustom
for variables that do not get saved.  After the initial change to all
sources, this will save you lots of time in the future.

This will also make it easy for third parties to piggy back into the
JDE project system I think, without having to use the jde- namespace
which the system currently depends on. 

I'd be quite happy to give this a go if you'd like. Might take a day
or two (it's pub night tonight!).

You loose the nice fontification of defcustom in the lisp
though. Ain't there always something!

See font-lock-add-keywords on how to fix that last problem.  I think
that is only available in newer versions of Emacs.
