[Bug 246354] Re: std_comment.el: broken code for timestamp in Makefile

[claudel]

I get identical problems when opening latex documents.  The %% comments in front of the Last update lines
is eaten by the macro that changes the time.  This is not the case for bash scripts for instance.  

This could be related to my emacs setup but the template feature just appeared automagically when I install
the emacs-extra package which seemed a good idea.

My version of emacs-extra is 0.1-1ubuntu1.  The fix described above is included in my distribution, it seems, but
the problem seems to be in the std-modes-alist definition.  Here, both the GNUmakefile and the LaTeX/M major
modes are missing.  Adding 

 ("GNUmakefile" . std-makefile-alist)
("LaTeX/M" . std-tex-alist)

 However, one can certainly think of many more modes which may not be listed.  It is not clear
to me how one would automate the creation of this list.  The problem however seems to be on the side of the
std_comment.el  package maintainer.  The last update on that file is from 2006 though.  An ubuntu patch for this
package?  Or maybe a user configurable variable.  If so, how to communicate to the user that his/her mode is 
not listed in std-modes-alist?
