Is the Epoch 8 bit mods patch from contrib/keriven/Epoch-8-bit-mods in
the 4.0p1 releases obsolete or has it just been forgotten in the
4.0p2 release, this patch is very important for some of the users I
support, it allows them to use their norwegian keyboards. One of the
norwegian letters has a position in ISO8859-1 matching M-x so I can't
install Epoch 4.0p2 without a input system differentiating between
letters in the range 128-255 and Meta combinations.

It would be nice if the functionality of this patch could be
incorporated in the main distribution of epoch.

For users new to this patch it allows users having European national
keyboards to use their native letters if they can be found in the ISO
8859-1 fonts, these fonts covers all western European languages, with
the exception of one of the letters in Icelandic.

Besides doing installation of this patch, a substitution of `"\M-' to
`\e' had to be done in all emacs lisp files used when this patch is
applied, in the vanilla distribution of emacs/epoch only gdb.el has
these problems, but at least ilisp and gmhist has to be modified if
they are installed.
