  "Pop up a dialog box.
A dialog box description is a list.

 - The first element of the list is a string to display in the dialog box.
 - The rest of the elements are descriptions of the dialog box's buttons.
   Each one is a vector of three elements:
   - The first element is the text of the button.
   - The second element is the `callback'.
   - The third element is t or nil, whether this button is selectable.

If the `callback' of a button is a symbol, then it must name a command.
It will be invoked with `call-interactively'.  If it is a list, then it is
evaluated with `eval'.

One (and only one) of the buttons may be `nil'.  This marker means that all
following buttons should be flushright instead of flushleft.

The syntax, more precisely:

   form		:=  <something to pass to `eval'>
   command	:=  <a symbol or string, to pass to `call-interactively'>
   callback 	:=  command | form
   active-p	:=  <t, nil, or a form to evaluate to decide whether this
		    button should be selectable>
   name		:=  <string>
   partition	:=  'nil'
   button	:=  '['  name callback active-p ']'
   dialog	:=  '(' name [ button ]+ [ partition [ button ]+ ] ')'"

	      (callback (aref (car tail) 1))
	      (enable (aref (car tail) 2)))
	  (setq converted
		(cons (if enable (cons item callback) item)
		      converted))))
