Add autoloads of crypt++ and mailcrypt routines, all for encryption functionality. allout customization subgroup now positioned in `outlines' group instead of prior `editing' group. (allout-encrypt-string, allout-encryption-produce-work-buffer) (allout-encrypted-topic-p, allout-encrypted-text-type) (allout-mc-activate-passwd, allout-create-encryption-key-verifier) (allout-situate-encryption-key-verifier) (allout-get-encryption-key-verifier, allout-verify-key) (allout-next-topic-pending-encryption) (allout-encrypt-decrypted, allout-encrypted-type-prefix): New functions. (outline-topic-encryption-bullet, outline-default-encryption-scheme) (outline-key-verifier-handling, outline-key-hint-handling) (outline-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves): New defcustoms. (allout-file-key-verifier-string, allout-encryption-scheme) (allout-key-verifier-string, allout-key-hint-string) (allout-after-save-decrypt): New variables. (allout-write-file-hook-handler, allout-auto-save-hook-handler) (allout-after-saves-handler): New hook functions. (allout-post-command-business): Do allout-after-save-decrypt. (allout-enable-file-variable-adjustment): Custom var to enable mechanism for adding and adjusting settings of Emacs file variables. (allout-adjust-file-variable, allout-file-vars-section-data): New functions, implement the mechanism. (outlineify-sticky): Use the file vars mechanism. (allout-inhibit-protection, allout-during-write-cue) (allout-override-protect, allout-before-change-protect): Removed. (allout-flag-region, allout-open-topic): Revised to adjust read-only text. (allout-open-line-not-read-only): Added to facilitate read-only text based protection. (allout-kill-line): Revised to adjust read-only text, clue the user about the inhibition. (allout-unprotected): Robustified with an unwind-protect. (allout-shift-in, allout-shift-out): Disallow manually shifting a topic deeper than the offspring depth of the previous topic - avoiding confusing "containment discontinuities". (allout-reindent-bodies): Fixed retention of body relative hanging indent during promotion of collapsed bodies. (allout-open-topic): Made it easy to open new topic with same bullet as current topic - topic creation functions provided with any universal argument provokes now prompt for bullet, defaulting to the bullet of the previous topic. (allout-plain-bullets-string, allout-distinctive-bullets-string): Plain bullet alternates '.' period and ',' comma only. All other bullets are relegated to special status (but customizable). (allout-end-of-entry): Renamed from 'allout-end-of-current-entry since it actually operates w.r.t. most immediately containing entry, visible or not. (allout-hide-current-entry, allout-show-current-entry): Use the revised version. (allout-old-expose-topic): Solidify deprecation. (allout-end-of-subtree): Added, so we can span concealed as well as visible topics. (allout-end-of-current-subtree): Use `allout-end-of-subtree'. (allout-end-of-current-heading): Tweaked to just respect the first line. (allout-get-body-text): Added. (allout-ascend-to-depth, allout-ascend): Position at end of prefix when invoked interactively. (allout-up-current-level): Use `interactive-p'. (allout-mode, allout-init): Miscellaneous docstring and operational refinements, as well as hookups of new encryption stuff. (allout-beginning-of-current-entry): Now works as advertised. (allout-end-of-current-entry): Relieved of superfluous allout-show-entry. (allout-isearch-rectification): Refine condition for isearching (allout-isearch-abort, allout-enwrap-isearch). (allout-flag-region, my-region-active-p): Relocated some macros. (allout-title): Fallback title is '(buffer-name)', not non-existing '(current-buffer-name)'. (subst-char-in-string): Define if absent (for some XEmacs versions). Corrected commentary 'keywords' to legitimate ones. Updated comentary author info (using my current email address, obscurified).

	      Building and Installing Emacs from CVS

Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository.
Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap"
instead of just "make":

  $ ./configure
  $ make bootstrap

The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt
before it builds the final Emacs binary.

Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS
update.  Unless there are problems, we suggest the following
procedure:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ cd lisp
  $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs
  $ cd ..
  $ make

(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
of "make" in the last command.)

Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" will need be updated to reflect
new autoloaded functions.  If you see errors about undefined lisp
functions during compilation, that may be the reason.  Another symptom
may be an error saying that "loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is
due to a change in the way loaddefs.el was handled in CVS, and should
only happen once, for users that are updating old CVS trees.

To update loaddefs.el, do:

  $ cd lisp
  $ make autoloads EMACS=../src/emacs

If either of above procedures fails, try "make bootstrap".

Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the
platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,
etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is
applicable to those systems as well.

Questions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of Emacs
should be sent to [e-mail] rather than gnu.emacs.help
or gnu.emacs.bug.  Ideally, use M-x report-emacs-bug RET which will
send it to the proper place.


Note on using SSH to access the CVS repository from inside Emacs
----------------------------------------------------------------

Write access to the CVS repository requires using SSH v2.

If you execute cvs commands inside Emacs, specifically if you use
pcl-cvs, output from CVS may be lost due to a problem in the
interface between ssh, cvs, and libc.  Corrupted checkins have
also been rumored to have happened.

To fix the problem, save the following script into a file, make it
executable, and set CVS_RSH to the file name of the script:

#!/bin/bash
exec 2> >(exec cat >&2 2>/dev/null)
exec ssh "$@"

This may be combined with the following entry in ~/.ssh/config to
simplify accessing the CVS repository:

Host subversions.gnu.org
     Protocol 2
     ForwardX11 no
     User YOUR_USERID
