(IT_note_mode_line_highlight, IT_note_mouse_highlight): Record the object that generated the help echo and the position of that object in help_echo_object and help_echo_pos. Record that some glyphs in a row are displayed in mouse-face. (IT_update_begin): Don't clear mouse highlight unless one of the enabled glyph rows is marked as being displayed in mouse-face. (dos_rawgetc): Generate 2 events for HELP_EVENT. Pass the object and position recorded in help_echo_object and help_echo_pos to the event queue. (IT_menu_display): Accept a new argument PN: the pane number of the current menu pane. Record the pane number and the item number of the item which has associated help string. (XMenuActivate): Update the prototype for help_callback in function declaration. Call IT_menu_display with the current menu pane number as an additional argument. Call help_callback with two additional arguments: the pane number and the item number of the menu item associated with the help text. (help_echo_object, help_echo_pos): New variables. (syms_of_msdos): Initialize them and staticpro help_echo_object. (help_echo_window): New variable. (syms_of_msdos): Initialize and staticpro it. (IT_note_mode_line_highlight): Set help_echo_window. (IT_note_mouse_highlight): Ditto. (dos_rawgetc): Store help_echo_window in the second event produced for HELP_EVENTs.

* Implement a clean way to use different major modes for
  different parts of a buffer.

* Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error
  output to a different filter.

* Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci
  on text properties in the error message lines.

* Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some
  useful sense).

* Make movemail work with IMAP.

* Add ANSI C prototype forward declarations to the source files,
  so that even the functions used within one file have prototypes.

* Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file
  which gives the same information through a menu structure.

* Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that
  works with GNU Privacy Guard for encryption.

* Save undo information in files, and reload it when needed
  for undoing.

* Implement other text formatting properties.
** Footnotes that can appear either in place
  or at the end of the page.
** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this".
  Don't break the line between two characters that have the
  same value of this property.
** Discretionary hyphens that disappear at end of line.

* Implement use of mmap to allocate buffers, when mmap exists.

* Change the Windows NT menu code
  so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids
  regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except
  when the user tries to use the menubar.

  This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to
  the main thread, and not return from that message until the main
  thread has processed the menu_bar_activate_event and regenerated
  the whole menu bar.  In the mean time, it should process other messages.

* Make Emacs work as a Java Bean.

* Make keymaps a first-class Lisp object (this means a rewrite of 
keymap.c).
