+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Provides a global minor mode (toggled by M-x hl-line-mode) to
+;; highlight, in a windowing system, the line on which point is
+;; (except in a minibuffer window) to satisfy a request for a feature
+;; of Lesser Editors.
+
+;; You probably don't really want this; if the cursor is difficult to
+;; spot, try changing its colour or using a cursor blinking
+;; <URL:http://www.wonderworks.com/download/blinking-cursor.el.gz> or
+;; jiggling <URL:http://www.eskimo.com/%7Eseldon> package.  (Cursor
+;; blinking will be built in to Emacs 21.)  The hookery involved here
+;; might slow Emacs noticeably on a slow machine.
+
+;; An overlay is used, active only on the selected window.  Hooks are
+;; added to `pre-command-hook' and `post-command-hook' to activate and
+;; deactivate (by deleting) the overlay.  `hl-line-unhighlight', on
+;; `pre-command-hook', deactivates it unconditionally in case the
+;; command changes the selected window.  (It does so rather than
+;; keeping track of changes in the selected window).
+;; `hl-line-highlight', on `post-command-hook', activates it again
+;; across the window width.
