Problem (and fix) with "leim/quail/greek.el"

[Nick Patavalis]

Hi,

There is something that could be considered a bug in the handling of
greek input in "leim/quail/greek.el" (for leim versions 20.x and
21.x).

It is customary (at least here in Greece) that in order to type an
accented character, you have to press the accent-key (which is the ';'
key in american keyboards) first, and *then* the vowel you wish to
accent. The rules in "leim/quail/greek.el" for the "greek" - iso8859-7
package, seem to honor a reveres key-stoke ordering, by expecting the
user to press the vowel key first and then the accent key. Whether
really a bug or not, this is certainly very anoying for native-greek
typists.

The fix is obvious. The attached patch (file: "greek.el.patch.gz")
should cleanly apply to "greek.el" of both, "leim-20.x" and
"leim-21.x"

Thanks
Nick Patavalis
