[PATCH] Fix connection problems for XEmacs/MULE.
The attached patch makes the connection setup work for me under XEmacs/MULE. Simply put, I presume that the system I am talking to is going to have dos-style line enders, and set the coding system for reading to match that. This shouldn't hurt anything under non-MULE code, being as it binds a variable for the duration of the 'start-process' call. Still, I don't want to commit this without knowing that it at least works for a few people, and I really /don't/ understand how the MULE integration has been done in rcp. Given a little time I will probably get off my backside and try to understand it, then make sure that it gets to be working quite right under XEmacs. Er, hang on... I will have to get /on/ my backside and... ;) Anyway, comments?

Well, that makes two of us... Hrm. In that case, since it seems to be biting me, I might put in some effort to learning how MULE works and implementing it properly for RCP. Assuming you don't object, of course. MULE comes into play in different places, but for the shell buffer, I'm basically hoping that the MULE machinery does everything right automatically. Seems not to, at least for me. It keeps deciding on 'undecided-mac' as the coding system, which is just wrong. [...] [looks into the code] Oops! Where did that `echo foo ; echo bar' go? Surely searching for ^M characters won't work unless there's at least one line ending in the buffer. Will try to change this now -- can you test it to see if it works, Daniel? Er, no. Still fails, in the same way as previously. Darn.
