I rock my own vote from .cons to .pl

No wait I changed my mind again. I agree entirely that .pl should be used
but it fixes  75% of the problem that is proper editor configuration but we
loose the fancy icon stuff. Sure that is not very important but I plan to
have some perl script in the same directory as the construct file and would
like to see the difference between them.

At the end of my previous mail I proposed that we should have the
possibility to set whatever extension and icon one wants to avoid snatching
Acme extension.

So:

- Cons work as before, icon and extension set or not
- In the environment we add CONS_EXTENSION=.whatever_you_like
- each one fixes the icon problem on his own

A last problem:
Not having a standard extension makes sharing of construct files harder
(well typing a -f construct.yae harder). The solution is:

CONS_EXTENSION=.whatever_you_like, .whatever_the_other_guy_likes

I hope this extension thing is soon over so we get onto more serious
matters.

Nadim.
My mail do wrap properly now, when are you guy going to stop mixing tabs and
spaces :-)
