bug#20467: 25.0.50; eieio-custom.el

[Pierre Lorenzon]

Hi Stefan,

In fact I think that eieio object customization is now
debugged. This is all the code contained in the eieio-custom.el
file.

  A buffer containing a button clik interface that allow you to
  assign values to certain slot of an object. In fact slots
  that are customizable i.e. the ones that have a :custom tag
  in their declaration. There's a method called
  `eieio-customize-object' that is available for any object but
  that can be reimplemented for subclasses. If obj is an object
  obtained by instantiating a class one may call :
  (eieio-customize-object obj).

  OK : once you got the customizing buffer for any object
  there's a button [Accept] that you can clik to record the
  changes you made.

  You might have a look at the ede documentation to understand
  how a project can be controlled by ede. But anyway if you do
  not have time/motivation to do that don't worry. I am very
  familiar with that whole stuff and can check if it works or
  not.

  In particular section 3 (quicj start) of ede manual should
  work. It is described step by step how to initiate a project
  controlled by ede. This should at least work. But I'll test
  that and telle you if I encounter bugs and provide patches if
  possible.
