is probably not very interesting for anyone else.)

THINGS TO DO
------------

** Search for `suspend-emacs' references and replace them with
   `suspend-frame', if necessary.  Ditto for `save-buffers-kill-emacs'
   vs. `save-buffers-kill-display'.

** Emacs crashes when a tty frame is resized so that there is no space

   default-frame-background-mode.)  (Update: maybe it is fixed now;
   needs testing.)

** I think `(set-)terminal-local-value' and the terminal parameter
   mechanism should be integrated into a single framework.

** Add the following hooks: after-delete-frame-hook (for server.el,
   instead of delete-frame-functions),
   after-delete-terminal-functions, after-create-terminal-functions.

is probably not very interesting for anyone else.)

THINGS TO DO
------------

** Implement automatic forwarding of client environment variables to
   forked processes, as discussed on the multi-tty list.  Terminal
   parameters are now accessible in C code, so the biggest obstacle is
   gone.  The `getenv_internal' and `child_setup' functions in
   callproc.c must be changed to support the following variable:

	terminal-local-environment-variables is a variable defined in ...

	Enable or disable terminal-local environment variables.

	If set to t, `getenv', `setenv' and subprocess creation
	functions use the environment variables of the emacsclient
	process that created the selected frame, ignoring
	`process-environment'.

	If set to nil, Emacs uses `process-environment' and ignores
	the client environment.

	Otherwise, `terminal-local-environment-variables' should be a
	list of variable names (represented by Lisp strings) to look
	up in the client environment.  The rest will come from
	`process-environment'.

** (Possibly) create hooks in struct device for creating frames on a
   specific terminal, and eliminate the hackish terminal-related frame
   parameters (display, tty, tty-type).

   	make_terminal_frame
		create_tty_output
	

** Move Fsend_string_to_terminal to term.c, and declare get_named_tty
   as static, removing it from dispextern.h.
   Move fatal to emacs.c and declare it somewhere.

** Search for `suspend-emacs' references and replace them with
   `suspend-frame', if necessary.  Ditto for `save-buffers-kill-emacs'
   vs. `save-buffers-kill-display'.

** Emacs crashes when a tty frame is resized so that there is no space

   default-frame-background-mode.)  (Update: maybe it is fixed now;
   needs testing.)

** I think `(set-)terminal-local-value' and the terminal parameter
   mechanism should be integrated into a single framework.

   (Update: `(set-)terminal-local-value' is now eliminated, but the
   terminal-local variables should still be accessible as terminal
   parameters.  This also applies to `display-name' and similar
   functions.)

** Add the following hooks: after-delete-frame-hook (for server.el,
   instead of delete-frame-functions),
   after-delete-terminal-functions, after-create-terminal-functions.
