Cygwin support patch.

This manual is now part of the standard distribution and is installed,
together with the Emacs User Manual, into the Info directory.  A menu
item was added to the menu bar that makes it easy accessible
(Help->More Manuals->Introduction to Emacs Lisp).

** Support for AIX 5.1 was added.

of `cursor-in-non-selected-windows' in the buffer that the cursor
appears in.

** The variable `cursor-in-non-selected-windows' can now be set to any
of the recognized cursor types.
  
+++
** The default values of `tooltip-delay' and `tooltip-hide-delay'
were changed.

won't produce a warning if it's not defined as a function, and in the
second case, using `foo' as a variable won't produce a warning if it's
unbound.  The test must be in exactly one of the above forms (after
macro expansion), but such tests may be nested.  Note that `when' and
`unless' expand to `if', but `cond' doesn't.
  
** New translation table `translation-table-for-input'.

+++
** `load-history' can now have elements of the form (t . FUNNAME),
which means FUNNAME was previously defined as an autoload (before the

find-file-not-found-hooks to find-file-not-found-functions,
write-file-hooks to write-file-functions,
write-contents-hooks to write-contents-functions.
Marked local-write-file-hooks as obsolete (use the LOCAL arg of `add-hook').

** The new variable `delete-frame-functions' replaces `delete-frame-hook'. 
It was renamed to follow the naming conventions for abnormal hooks.  The old
name remains available as an alias, but has been marked obsolete.

** The `read-file-name' function now takes an additional argument which
specifies a predicate which the file name read must satify.  The

yank-excluded-properties is not performed; instead FUNCTION is
responsible for removing those properties.  This may be necessary
if FUNCTION adjusts point before or after inserting the object.
  If UNDO is present and non-nil, it is a function that will be called
by `yank-pop' to undo the insertion of the current object.  It is
called with two arguments, the start and end of the current region. 
FUNCTION may set `yank-undo-function' to override the UNDO value.

*** The functions kill-new, kill-append, and kill-region now has an
optional third argument to specify the yank-handler text property
to put on the killed text.

*** Function signal-process now accepts a process object or process
name in addition to a process id to identify the signalled process.

*** Processes now have an associated property list where programs can
maintain process state and other per-process related information.  

The new functions process-get and process-put are used to access, add,
and modify elements on this property list.

The new low-level functions process-plist and set-process-plist are
