Do you mean complicated in the sens of difficult to unterstand or in the
sense of more than is needed aka bloat?

What does the svn/cvs mode do?

I would like to have a generic way. Maybe we have so less minor modes,
because it's difficult to integrate them.

For example, I would like to add some functions from the debian mode for
mails, but I don't want to go to the global keymap, because those keys
aren't global, and overwriting the settings of mail doesn't sound good,
too.

minor_mode_key_prefix("debian", "mail")

Bye, Jörg.
