(dired-do-relsymlink-regexp): Add missing optional arg ARG, and use it.

Tasks needed before the next release.

* TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE

** `undo-ask-before-discard', currently set to t for debugging purposes
has to be set to nil: when t, it can leak memory and cause other problems.

** Update release dates of manuals.

** Spell check the manuals.

** Get rid of overfull and underfull boxes in manuals.

** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals;
make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted.

** Update facemenu-unlisted-faces, adding whatever other
face name prefixes should be in it for good results.

** Update AUTHORS.

** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc.

** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.

** Check what should be deleted or updated in MORE.STUFF.

* NEW FEATURES

** Make VC-over-Tramp work where possible, or at least fail
gracefully if something isn't supported over Tramp.
To be done by Andre Spiegel <[e-mail]>.

** Update Speedbar.

** Update vhdl-mode.el based on changes in
   http://opensource.ethz.ch/emacs/vhdl-mode.html.

** Debug custom themes.

* FATAL ERRORS

** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.

** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
invalid pointer from string_free_list.

* BUGS

** Fix those modes that still use compile-internal, to not use it.

** Bug in ebrowse

From: Markus Gritsch <[e-mail]>

the C++ header file which led to the problematic BROWSE file reads

namespace test {
     class Base
     {
     };

     class B : public Base
     {
     };
}

class A : public test::Base
{
};

The *Tree* is then displayed as

   *Globals*
   test
   test::Base
     test::B

The class A seems to be missing.

** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors:

Message-Id: <[e-mail]>
From: "Piet van Oostrum" <[e-mail]>
To: [e-mail]
Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback

Symptoms:

C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/

The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:

ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
Trying 192.87.102.36...
Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.

Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
further.

I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.

* DOCUMENTATION

** Document Custom Themes.

** Update man/info.texi.

** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.

Policy document admin/notes/years must be updated before
making further progress on this task!!!
