I feel that maybe a minor mode would be a good choice for this. You could set a file variable (something like // -*- compile-command: "gcc -Wall -o dest file" -*- ) where you set the max and the minor mode with a hook on every key could update a value in the modeline.
I'm not sure I can do it but I might try if I don't get asleep :D _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
