bug#5136: Request to update vhdl-mode and verilog-mode

[Reto Zimmermann]

Chitlesh,

I added your settings for GHDL to the upcoming vhdl-mode version 3.33.28.  I'm 
still holding it because I first have to resolve some issues with the new 
compile.el in Emacs 23.

I am aware of the compilation warnings but I'm not applying the fixes to my 
version because they break older Emacs versions as well as XEmacs.  I'm trying 
to keep my vhdl-mode version compatible with recent Emacs and XEmacs versions.

You should be able to add the lines to Makefile using the hook 
vhdl-makefile-generation-hook.
