That breaks in Emacs 21, where the function isn't defined.  

I added such a check to the better implementation below.  This one is
clean; it doesn't use advice and provides a minor mode.  It uses a
different convention for the directory-local file contents, which is
consistent with the normal form in files and is processed consistently
with that.

While checking it before posting, I found it's now broken by the Emacs
22 codebase (ironically, since it was done because of one of the
things that broke earlier).  I worked around that in a way that should
work OK in the normal case of just finding a file.
