(comment-use-syntax): Change `maybe' to `undecided'. (comment-quote-nested): New. Replaces comment-nested. (comment-add): Turn into a mere defvar or a integer. (comment-style): Change default to `plain'. (comment-styles): Rename `plain' to `indent' and create a new plainer `plain'. (comment-string-reverse): Use nreverse. (comment-normalize-vars): Change `maybe' to `undecided', add comments. Don't infer the setting of comment-nested anymore (the default for comment-quote-nested is safe). Use comment-quote-nested. (comment-end-quote-re): Use comment-quote-nested. (comment-search-forward): Obey LIMIT. (comment-indent): Don't skip forward further past comment-search-forward. (comment-padleft): Use comment-quote-nested. (comment-make-extra-lines): Use `cons' rather than `values'. (comment-region-internal): New arg INDENT. Use line-end-position. Avoid multiple-value-setq. (comment-region): Follow the new comment-add semantics. Don't do box comments any more. (comment-box): New function. (comment-dwim): Only do the region stuff is transient-mark-active.

This is a list of known problems to date with the Windows NT/95 port of
GNU Emacs.

* Handle wildcards in ls-lisp (e.g., C-x d *.c).

* Interactive subprocess output is buffered in jerky

* Presently, C:\foo\bar and C:/foo/bar bring up two buffers on the same file.
  Solve this by adding a switch that canonicalizes path separators
  (e.g., make them all / or all \)?

* call-process-region: Another tricky situation with binary and text modes.
  An example by dsrosing@reston.ingr.com: use crypt++ to load compressed
  data into a buffer, edit the buffer, save the data back out.  (Also
  need to propagate the "/C" switch change sent the shell in crypt++.el
  back to the author.)

* Dired uses ls-lisp, which reports all files as being owned by the
  current user.  Need to dig through the security descriptor to extract
  the owner of the file (and the group?) using LookupAccountSid.

* Integrate the build for NT into the GNU config process once
  a decent shell becomes freely available

* Integrate networking.

* Fix Win95 subprocesses.
