(locate-in-alternate-database): Added this function
(locate): Added locate-post-command-hook. (locate-prompt-for-command): Added this variable. (locate): If locate-prompt-for-command is set, prompt for a command to run to populate the locate buffer as the default behavior. (locate-update): Add prefix arg to locate call. (locate-with-filter): Add prefix arg to locate call. (locate): Add prefix arg. If set, the function prompts the user (locate-mouse-face): No longer needed. (locate-mode): Setup `dired-subdir-alist' cleanly using `dired-alist-add-1'. (locate-set-properties): Set properties cleanly using `dired-insert-set-properties', giving dired like output. for a command to run instead of the default one. (locate-grep-history-list): Added this variable. (locate-with-filter): Use locate-grep-history-list instead of grep-history. (locate-filter-output): filter is not regexp-quoted. (locate-mode-map): Added keybinding for locate-find-directory. Changed keybinding for "U" from dired-unmark-all-files-no-query to dired-unmark-all-files. (locate-find-directory): Added this function. (locate-find-directory-other-window): Added this function. (locate-get-dirname): Added this function. (locate-mouse-view-file): Renamed mouse-locate-view-file to this name.
