As I understood, these changes have already been approved by Richard,
so I've installed it.  If not, please let me know.

A few remarks:

- Your patch mixed my minor corrections and your changes.  Both should
  be mentioned in separate ChangeLog entries.

- The ChangeLog entry...

        * doc-view.el: Make doc-view-mode the standard mode for viewing
        pdf, [e]ps and dvi files and add binding C-c C-c to toggle between
        text and image display.  Add binding C-c C-e to switch to an
        editing mode.

  ... is quite terse, IMHO.  Usually we add the relevant functions or
  variables.  (`C-x 4 a' (in the lisp or diff buffer) and friends are
  handy for this.)

- The security enhancements should be mentioned in the ChangeLog, so I
  added...

        (doc-view-ghostscript-options, doc-view-ps->pdf): Add "-dSAFER" to
        avoid security problems when rendering files untrusted sources.

Bye, Reiner.
