(start_display): WHen starting display on a continuation line, clear ascent and descent members of the iterator structure; the height of the continued line does not affect the height of the continuation line. (make_cursor_line_fully_visible): Do nothing if cursor is on a line taller than the window. (redisplay_window) <forced window start>: Handle case that the middle of the window is not found in any row. (dump_glyph_row): Show more information. (compute_line_metrics): Use MATRIX_FIRST_TEXT_ROW to determine the first text line in a glyph matrix.

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.
