Use SYMBOL_VALUE/SET_SYMBOL_VALUE. (Qcyclic_variable_indirection): New variable. (Fkeywordp): Check for internedness differently. (Fmakunbound): Simplify the test if symbol is a constant. (indirect_variable, Findirect_variable): New functions. (swap_in_symval_forwarding): If SYMBOL is an alias, use the aliased symbol. (let_shadows_buffer_binding_p): Check for variable aliases. (set_internal): Simplify the test if SYMBOL is a constant. If SYMBOL has a buffer-local value and is an alias, use the aliased symbol instead. (syms_of_data): Initialze Qcyclic_variable_indirection and defsubr Sindirect_variable.

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.
