* Small but important fixes needed in existing features:

** Compute the list of active keymaps *after* reading the first event.

** Avoid using "iff" in doc strings.

** mouse-autoselect-window should wait to select the window until

** Redesign the load-history data structure so it can cope better
  with evaluating definitions of the same function from different files,
  recording which file the latest definition came from.

** make back_comment use syntax-ppss or equivalent.

* Important features:

** Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
   list fonts, display a font as a sample, etc.  [fx is looking at

** Merge sendmail.el and messages.el.
   Probably not a complete merge, but at least arrange for messages.el to be
   a derived mode of sendmail.el.  Or arrange for messages.el to be split
   into a small core and "the rest" so that we use less resources as long as
   we stick to the features provided in sendmail.el.

** Replace gmalloc.c with the modified Doug Lea code from the current
   GNU libc so that the special mmapping of buffers can be removed --
   that apparently loses under Solaris, at least. [fx has mostly done
   this.]

* Small but important fixes needed in existing features:

** Fix compilation when Xaw3d libraries are present but libxaw is not.
In new X11 versions, xaw3dg-dev does not depend on libxaw-dev, so the
latter need not be installed.  As a result, all the source files that
look for include files in X11/Xaw should look in X11/Xaw3d if we are
using Xaw3d.

** Avoid using "iff" in doc strings.

** Redesign the load-history data structure so it can cope better
  with evaluating definitions of the same function from different files,
  recording which file the latest definition came from.

** make back_comment use syntax-ppss or equivalent.

** Improve configure's treatment of NON_GNU_CPP on Solaris.
