[ESS] ESS and font-lock support.

[gerald.jean at dgag.ca]

Hello,

I agree with Martin statement and I apologize if I offended any of you with
my post, it certainly was not the intent.  ESS and Emacs are such great
tools and I am so addicted to them that I'd have a hard time getting my
work done without them!
