[UGLY DFAFT PATCH] draft: emacs: custom variable to choose default reply-to behaviour

[Tomi Ollila]

This is one draft solution to provide an implementation described in
id:"87y5n7z5aj.fsf at yoom.home.cworth.org"

Comments how things could be done better (or totally different way)
are welcome -- and specially, if you are better than me in elisp
(which you probably are) reuse any code freely in your implementation...

There are some things missing (like declare-functions (and specially, one
`custom-set`) and new code is not necessarily located at the most suitable
places -- for now the changes are "localized" to 2 places.

This implementation uses custom variable and based on that the 4 keybindings
are set -- if custom variable is nil then bindings point to the setting
interface functions. Currenlty after later changes outside of those setting
functions does not change bindings -- in the future using
customize-save-variable that will change bindings -- but always when using
setq/set to change the (custom) variable will not change the bindings (so
the variable can be made out-of-sync with the bindings -- if that matters).
