Set buffer-file-coding-system more sensibly with zero-length files.
lisp/ChangeLog addition:
2009-06-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
* code-files.el (insert-file-contents):
Autodetection may return undecided as a coding system. If the file
was zero-length, this is kosher, and we should set
buffer-file-coding-system to its default; if it is not
zero-length, we still need to set b-f-c-s, but we warn that the
autodetection fails. (Ignoring that for the user, autodetection
failing is something very distinct from what we use it to mean
here.) See
http://mid.gmane.org/18986.53111.800393.660612@parhasard.net and
the related thread.

To use: You need to build and install the XEmacs distribution. Also you need the xemacs packages in both source and installed versions. Edit "dirs.py" to reflect the locations of the above components. Edit "version.py" to reflect the current version, as well as the welcome message. Run python pre_wise.py > xemacs-XXX.wse (for XXX use a version or date code of your choosing) Run cmd /c xemacs-XXX.wse to produce xemacs-XXX.exe "pre_wise.py" is a preprocessor for the Wise installer maker. It reads "xemacs.tmpl" which is a Wise input file, except that certain portions are enclosed in triple angle brackets <<<like this>>> These portions are evaluated as Python expressions and replaced by the string representations of the resulting value. This allows for things to change from release to release without having to re-do the Wise installation each time. Also it keeps you from having to manually drag-n-drop all the package files, which is rather tedious!
