Bug in vhdl-mode.el version 3.29 for emacs 21.2-windows.

[Rob Kaut]

emacs version: 21.2 windows
vhdl-mode.el version: 3.29

In emacs 20.4 the function 'vhdl-comment-uncomment-region' works
properly in vhdl-mode, but in the 21.2 version it does not. This
seems to be due to the modification of the 'comment-region'
function from version 20.4 to 21.2. In 20.4 'comment-region' is
in simple.el and in 21.2 it seems to have moved to newcomment.el
and had its operation changed.

The fix that I have used right now is to modify the function
'vhdl-comment-uncomment-region' in my vhdl-mode.el to remove two
comment characters at the start of the line instead of one. A
diff of the original and modified would show:

7570c7570
<       (comment-region beg end -1)
--
>       (comment-region beg end -2)

Anyways, I hope this helps. If you need more info, please let me
know.
