Change 12013
Various modifications to vc-p4 that I have been using for years.
Unfortunately I did not document the changes as I made them. I have been able to determine the purpose of most of the changes by code inspection but there are a few changes for which I have not been able to determine a purpose.
* Modifications to support XEmacs.
* Added the p4-lowlevel-locate-p4 function. This function is used to locate the p4 executable on the exec-path. It is used by the vc-p4-registered function to avoid an error on systems on which the Perforce client is not installed. This is useful if the same .emacs file is used on multiple systems, some of which do not have the Perforce client installed.
* Modified the p4-lowlevel-successful-alist-p function so that a command that returns the message "file(s) up-to-date" does not trigger an error. As part of this change I added the p4-lowlevel-ignore-error-list defcustom and the p4-lowlevel-should-ignore-error function.
* Modified the vc-p4-registered function so that it uses the p4-lowlevel-locate-p4 function to verify that the Perforce client is installed.
