Subject: Re: patch for locate.el when called with prefix arg

Maybe the following slightly different patch is better.  Only two
words difference woth the original: GNU locate is referred to as a
"program" rather than as a command, to distinguish it from the Emacs
command `locate' mentioned later and `locate-in-alternate-database'
is now referred to as a "command" rather than function.
