I went back and checked his contributions more carefully. I now think
it's not difficult to revert almost all his changes. There was a big
change he made to compile.el, but it was subsequently obseleted by
Daniel Pfeiffer's big revamp of compile.el on 2004-03-11, which
deleted the variables and functions that Kevin Rodgers had introduced
on 1996-11-04.
If we revert all his doc/comment fixes, and reimplement two of his
changes, we can bring the his remaining contributions to 9 small
changes spread over a total of 27 lines. This will introduce a few
minor typos into Emacs, but absolutely no loss of functionality.
The two changes that we have to reimplement are the following:
1997-03-24 Kevin Rodgers <address@hidden>
* compile.el (grep-program): New variable.
(grep-command): Use it, and test whether it supports the -e
option; fix doc string (last command is stored in history variable).
(grep-null-device): Declare before grep-program and grep-command.
(grep-find-use-xargs, grep-find-command, grep-find-history):
New variables.
(grep-find): New command.
(grep): Only concatenate grep-null-device to COMMAND when it's
not nil (to support grep-find).
1996-09-12 Kevin Rodgers <address@hidden>
* loadhist.el (read-feature): New function.
(unload-feature): Read FEATURE interactively with read-feature.
I can probably do this in a day. Should I go ahead with the big revert?
