Fix spellings.

exceptions are M-a (c-beginning-of-statement) and M-e
(c-end-of-statement) which haven't yet been adapted.

The notion of "defun" has been augmented to include AWK pattern-action
pairs.  C-M-a (c-awk-beginning-of-defun) and C-M-e (c-awk-end-of-defun)
recognise these pattern-action pairs, as well as user defined
functions.

**** Auto-newline Insertion and Clean-ups
Auto-newline insertion hasn't yet been adapted for AWK.  Some of
the clean-ups can actually convert good AWK code into syntactically

attaching more information.  They are now lists instead of single cons
cells.  E.g. a line that previously had the syntactic analysis

((inclass . 11) (topmost-intro . 13))

is now analysed as

((inclass 11) (topmost-intro 13))

In some cases there are more than one position given for a syntactic
symbol.

**** The `::' qualifier triggers C++ parsing in C file.

Previously, only the `template' and `class' keywords had this effect.

**** The GCC __attribute__ keyword is now recognised and ignored.

**** New language HTML.

Tags are generated for `title' as well as `h1', `h2', and `h3'.  Also,
when `name=' is used inside an anchor and whenever `id=' is used.

These replace the old function `process-kill-without-query'.  That
function is still supported, but new code should use the new
functions.

*** Function `signal-process' now accepts a process object or process
name in addition to a process id to identify the signalled process.

*** Processes now have an associated property list where programs can
maintain process state and other per-process related information.

Use the new functions `process-get' and `process-put' to access, add,

not by default.  Use --members to turn this feature on.

*** C++ member functions are now recognized as tags.

*** Java is tagged like C++.  In addition, "extends" and "implements"
constructs are tagged.  Files are recognised by the extension .java.

*** Etags can now handle programs written in Postscript.  Files are
recognised by the extensions .ps and .pdb (Postscript with C syntax).
In Postscript, tags are lines that start with a slash.

*** Etags now handles Objective C and Objective C++ code.  The usual C and
C++ tags are recognized in these languages; in addition, etags
recognizes special Objective C syntax for classes, class categories,
methods and protocols.

*** Etags also handles Cobol.  Files are recognised by the extension
.cobol.  The tagged lines are those containing a word that begins in
column 8 and ends in a full stop, i.e. anything that could be a
paragraph name.

*** Regexps in Etags now support intervals, as in ed or grep.  The syntax of
