(message_truncate_lines, Qmessage_truncate_lines): New variables. (ensure_echo_area_buffers): Initialize echo buffer's truncate lines setting to nil. (with_echo_area_buffer): Don't set the echo buffer's truncate lines setting here. (set_message_1): Set it here, instead, based on the value of message_truncate_lines. (resize_mini_window): Handle case that lines are truncated. (syms_of_xdisp): Initialize Qmessage_truncate_lines. DEFVAR_BOOL message-truncate-lines.

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.
