[PATCH] Add Carbon-specific locale-determination code; respect the locale with mac-command-key-is-meta behaviour

[Sparapani, Rodney]

Hi Aidan:

Beware:  top-post follows since this mailing system is quite primitive.  And that
was the problem; it mangled the patch.  I had no problem with the patch that I 
downloaded by URL, all hunks accepted.

And, if you (setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil) you will have Option as the Meta
key.  However, the whole purpose is to free the Command key to behave as it does
in other applications.  This can easily be done by a keymap (I had posted such a
keymap for Carbon Emacs that I can't find anymore).  So, for example, you would
have Command-q mapped to save-buffers-kill-emacs.  But, when you do a C-h k on
Command-q you get:

q runs `self-insert-command'

`self-insert-command' is an interactive built-in function
  -- loaded from "/usr/local/cvs/xemacs-carbon2/src/cmds.c"
(self-insert-command COUNT)

Documentation:
Insert the character you type.
Whichever character you type to run this command is inserted.
If a prefix arg COUNT is specified, the character is inserted COUNT times.


So, now it just ignores Command all together.  We're half way there :0)
I also have a request.  Can we get rid of the Teddy bear icon?  It was kind
of cute at first, but I now find it annoying.  

Thanks,

Rodney

Not easily, no; my home net connection is gone for the next couple of weeks.

Here's a text version of the patch that should be independent of the mail
client you use: http://www.parhasard.net/locale-patch.diff.bz2

Hope that helps,
