More rearrangement.

contents are detected automatically.  However, certain implicit
changes to mode lines, header lines, or display properties may require
forcing an explicit window update.

+++
** You can now make a window as short as one line.

A window that is just one line tall does not display either a mode
line or a header line, even if the variables `mode-line-format' and
`header-line-format' call for them.  A window that is two lines tall
cannot display both a mode line and a header line at once; if the
variables call for both, only the mode line actually appears.

+++
** The line-move, scroll-up, and scroll-down functions will now
modify the window vscroll to scroll through display rows that are
taller that the height of the window, for example in the presense of
large images.  To disable this feature, Lisp code may bind the new
variable `auto-window-vscroll' to nil.

+++
** Function `compute-motion' now calculates the usable window
width if the WIDTH argument is nil.  If the TOPOS argument is nil,
the usable window height and width is used.

+++
** Function pos-visible-in-window-p now returns the pixel coordinates
and partial visiblity state of the corresponding row, if the PARTIALLY
arg is non-nil.

+++
** The new function `window-inside-edges' returns the edges of the
actual text portion of the window, not including the scroll bar or
divider line, the fringes, the display margins, the header line and
the mode line.

+++
** The new functions `window-pixel-edges' and `window-inside-pixel-edges'
return window edges in units of pixels, rather than columns and lines.

+++
** The new macro `with-selected-window' temporarily switches the
selected window without impacting the order of buffer-list.

+++
** `select-window' takes an optional second argument `norecord', like
`switch-to-buffer'.

+++
** `save-selected-window' now saves and restores the selected window
of every frame.  This way, it restores everything that can be changed
by calling `select-window'.

+++
** The function `set-window-buffer' now has an optional third argument
KEEP-MARGINS which will preserve the window's current margin, fringe,
and scroll-bar settings if non-nil.

+++
** Customizable fringe bitmaps
