Format and doc changes to bring closer to xterm.c. (w32_char_font_type): New enum. (Qw32_charset_*, w32_codepage_for_font): Moved to w32fns.c. (w32_per_char_metric): Use w32_char_font_type instead of unicode_p. (w32_encode_char): New function. (x_encode_char): Removed. (x_get_glyph_and_face_encoding): Use w32_encode_char in place of x_encode_char and w32_font_is_double_byte. (x_produce_image_glyph): Use image_ascent. (x_produce_glyphs): Use new version of w32_per_char_metric and handle NULL return value. Allow extra line spacing. (W32_TEXTOUT): Distinguish between Unicode and DBCS text. (w32_get_glyph_overhangs): Remove unicode_p param. Use w32_font_type member of glyph instead. (x_draw_glyph_string): Draw underline and strike-out for BDF fonts. (fast_find_position): Make sure not to consider rows not visible in the window. (w32_read_socket) [WM_MENUSELECT]: Cannot call w32_menu_display_help with input blocked, as it can abort. (x_display_and_set_cursor): Choose cursor depending on buffer-local value of cursor_type. (x_draw_bar_cursor): Add parameter WIDTH.

* 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.

* modify comint.el so that input appears in a special font.
  I can add a simple Emacs feature to help.

* 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.
