Did you mean "comment-region" and "uncomment-region" commands?

Without a delimiter, there is no way for align.el to figure this
out.  It is only regexp based, not a true parser.

It will align TeX tables, for example, because those use & as a
delimiter.

Kai, very nice. I had something similar to your second version, but I
like the addition with the line numbering. That one is going into my
emacs library today!


You just gotta love eshell. Although I've not done it, I've heard
there is even some out there who are using eshell as their default
loging shell on their linux boxes. Sometime, when I'm a bit bored, I
might even start looking at that myself...

Then again, with emacs and elisp, when do you get the chance to get
bored!

Just how commonly available is the "make -n uninstall > /tmp/foo"
in src distributions anyway. Actually, because of my ignorance
of it I never used it. If it is widely incorporated, then it
may be a matter of putting an option in ./configure like:
--enable-uninstall=/tmp/foo (or /var/pkg/foo)
which would be comparatively easier than developing a
pkg-manager which is really an OS dependent thing anyway.

The configure option could trigger the "make -n uninstall" command
to occur right after "make install" - and would increase
awareness of the option by placing it in an obvious place
(via: ./configure --help).
