Thanks for the note.  I haven't been updating CEDET on sourceforge as 
these merges seem to be a problem, and the SF version can't run on newer 
versions of Emacs.

If there are puzzles around the merge done so far I can look at them, 
but I don't have commit privileges for Emacs, nor particularly deep git 
skills.

I recently posted patches to bring over a large swatch of CEDET tests, 
plus a few small fixes from SF to make them run, which Stefan pushed for 
me.  That could complicate the merge.
