How does "the package" do that?  If the gnulib project doesn't
do this, then which package providers actually do know the code?

What I think I am asking for is documentation on how to make this test:

     (eq enable-local-variables :all)

yield "#t" (or however it is spelled in emacs lisp).
Would that be:

      (set enable-local-variables  :all)

in my .emacs file?  Another part of my request is that I think it
is a little over the top to have to delve into the emacs lisp code
to the point were I found the ``(eq enable-local-variables :all)''
test at all.  :(

I'm certain I'm well into the dollars by now.  ;-)
