OCamlPro/typerex — Issue #28: Prepend some "\n" to emacs.append?

The Makefile suggests to run:

cat emacs.append >>~/.emacs"

However, it is not optimal if your .emacs file did not end with one or a few newlines, since emacs.append does not begin with a newline. That is, the first line of emacs.append is added at the end of your .emacs' last line.

I'd suggest that either the command be fixed to:

echo "\n" | cat - emacs.append >>~/.emacs

Or, something easier for the user, to add one or two newlines at the beginning of emacs.append.
