Improvement Suggestion: Faces in Buffer Menu (patch included)

[Yong Lu]

Hi,

I find it a bit easier to locate buffers in the electric-buffer-list
and list-buffers buffer, if buffer names are displayed in different
faces according to their major modes.  For example, html helper mode
buffers are displayed with pink foreground in the list, etc.  So I
think it would be a good idea to add support for this.

I have made a little patch to buff-menu.el for this.  It doesn't break
anything, so if you don't like fancy faces, you won't be affected by
it.  The defcustom part of the patch is a bit clumsy, though.  Because
I don't know how to specify the plist format and restrict the elements
to face attributes.  Hope somebody can fix it and make it into the
source tree.
