(shell-command-default-error-buffer): Renamed from shell-command-on-region-default-error-buffer. (shell-command-on-region): Mention in echo area when there is some error output. Mention success or failure, too. Accumulate multiple error outputs going forward, with formfeed in between. Display the error buffer when we have put something in it. (shell-command): Add the ERROR-BUFFER argument feature.

;; Steve Strassmann <[e-mail]> didn't write
;; this, and even if he did, he really didn't mean for you to use it
;; in an anarchistic way.
;;
;; To use this:
;;  Just before sending mail, do M-x spook.
;;  A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help
;;  give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated
;;  keyword scanners.  Help defeat the NSA trunk trawler!
