bug#12044: Acknowledgement (24.1; ls does not support --dired)

[Peter Dyballa]

After putting

        (setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program t)
        (setq insert-directory-program "gls")

into the site init file (/Library/Application Support/Emacs/site-start.el) GNU 
Emacs 24.1 now uses gls instead of ls, although the correct solution would be 
to use the system's ls and -dired instead of --dired. This solution obviously 
cannot be achieved any more. And it worked in GNU Emacs 23.4 when launched with 
-Q: ls seems to be found and -dired seems to be used.

A second problem exists with possible use of the variable 
dired-listing-switches. With GNU gls I use "-ahlN" which has to be with the 
system's ls "-ahlw".
