* international/mule-cmds.el (global-map): Do not use backquote, because that makes a bootstrapping problem if you need to recompile all Lisp files using interpreted code. * international/mule.el (charset-id, charset-bytes, charset-dimension, charset-chars, charset-width, charset-direction, charset-iso-final-char, charset-iso-graphic-plane, charset-reverse-charset, charset-short-name, charset-long-name, charset-description, charset-plist): Likewise. * international/mule-cmds.el (set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system): New function, containing code migrated out of set-language-environment. (set-language-environment, set-locale-environment): Use it. (locale-translation-file-name): Moved here from startup.el. (locale-language-names, locale-preferred-coding-systems): New vars. (locale-name-match, set-locale-environment): New functions.

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 [e-mail]: 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.
