For the Emacs users

[Brian T Rice]

I just committed a new version of the Emacs mode, which basically has
most of the major features working now. Here are the details:

Indentation is fixed. There are some minor preferences that may change,
but it's mostly fine now.

It works now, although there is a glitch left which is bothering me, in
that the working directory for the lisp program is not set properly.

This means that 'src/init.slate' will not file in out of the box, since it
uses relative pathnames which aren't resolving to the right base. A PWD
env parameter is being passed to the slate command on startup, but this is
somehow not really helping.

Use C-h m to get mode help for regular Slate files or the extended mode
for the REPL. This will show you the relevant keybindings to evaluate
regions, start and stop the interpreter, and load files.

Anyway, enjoy! :)
