Package: emacs-goodies-el

Severity: normal

Hi!
Emacs v22 (emacs-snapshot) ships in a conf-mode, which provides a
conf-xdefaults-mode for xrdb files. xrdb is some more features than
the other package (like electricity), but still clobbering bindings
without `emacs-goodies-el-defaults' set in these newer emacsen is a
violation of policy. This thus introduces a new customizable option
for clobbering the auto-mode-alist defaulting to either t or
`emacs-goodies-el-defaults' depending on the emacs used.
