+;; erlang-flymake.el
+;;
+;; Syntax check erlang source code on the fly (integrates with flymake).
+;;
+;; Start using flymake with erlang by putting the following somewhere
+;; in your .emacs file:
+;;
+;;     (require 'erlang-flymake)
+;;
+;; Flymake is rather eager and does its syntax checks frequently by
+;; default and if you are bothered by this, you might want to put the
+;; following in your .emacs as well:
+;;
+;;     (erlang-flymake-only-on-save)
+;;
+;; There are a couple of variables which control the compilation options:
+;; * erlang-flymake-get-code-path-dirs-function
+;; * erlang-flymake-get-include-dirs-function
+;; * erlang-flymake-extra-opts
+;;
+;; This code is inspired by http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FlymakeErlang.
