allout.el: Summary - migrate to defining allout mode using define-minor-mode instead of defun. Significantly clean-up internal keymap provisions, refactoring a bit and removing a lot of accumulated cruft. allout-mode-map is now a keymap by virtue of being an defalias to allout-mode-map-value, which contains the actual keymap structure. (allout-mode): Use define-minor-mode rather than defun. Remove now-unnecessary minor-mode setup activities from the body. Specify :keymap as allout-mode-map so the minor-mode-map-alist entry will be '(allout-mode . allout-mode-map) - see allout-mode-map-value, below. Adjust docstring to track changes. (allout-minor-mode): Remove this defalias, now that we're using define-minor-mode. (allout-mode-map): Set value to be 'allout-mode-map. The actual keymap is allout-mode-map-value, via defalias. (allout-mode-map-value): The variable holding the actual mode keymap structure, by virtue of defalias from allout-mode-map. (allout-compose-and-institute-keymap): Renamed from allout-bind-keys, and including the binding-composition functionality of the former produce-allout-mode-map and allout-setup-mode-map. (allout-institute-keymap): Take over the "setup" part of the former allout-setup-mode-map. Reassign allout-mode-map-value value and update the defalias. (allout-command-prefix) (allout-prefixed-keybindings) (allout-unprefixed-keybindings): Use allout-compose-and-institute-keymap to process the bindings. (allout-unprefixed-keybindings): Remove extraneous '?' question marks. (allout-prefixed-keybindings): Elide binding to (prefixed) \C-h - user can customize if they want to use that binding. Bind allout-copy-topic-as-kill to (prefixed) \M-k. Bind allout-up-current-level to (prefixed) \C-u. (I think i mistakenly elided that, previously, instead of the one for \C-h.) (allout-hotspot-key-handler): Remove attempt to resolve the key through the literal key-string lookup on allout-keybindings-list. That probably hasn't worked for a Long Time, and removal of allout-keybindings-list further simplifies the keybindings situation. (allout-pre-command-business): Use allout-mode-map-value instead of allout-mode-map. (allout-preempt-trailing-ctrl-h): Remove. The user can customize the bindings if they want to use a keybinding having a trailing \C-h. No deprecation needed since this feature was never in a release. (allout-keybindings-list): Remove. It's not been useful for a while. (See allout-hotspot-key-handler changes, above.) (produce-allout-mode-map): Remove. Consolidate into allout-compose-and-institute-keymap. (allout-mode-map-adjustments): Remove. No longer necessary with removal of allout-preempt-trailing-ctrl-h. (allout-setup-mode-map): Remove. Consolidate into allout-compose-and-institute-keymap and allout-institute-keymap.

	      Building and Installing Emacs from Bazaar

If this is the first time you go through it, you'll need to configure
before bootstrapping:

  $ ./configure

Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in Bazaar.  Therefore, to
build from Bazaar you must run "make bootstrap" instead of just "make":

  $ bzr pull
  $ make bootstrap

Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every
update from Bazaar.  "make" should work in 90% of the cases and be
much quicker.

  $ make

(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
of "make" in the last command.)

Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" (and similar automatically
generated files, such as esh-groups.el, and *-loaddefs.el in some
subdirectories of lisp/, e.g. mh-e/ and calendar/) will need to be
updated to reflect new autoloaded functions.  If you see errors (rather
than warnings) about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that
may be the reason.  Finally, sometimes there can be build failures
related to *loaddefs.el (e.g. "required feature `esh-groups' was not
provided").  In that case, follow the instructions below.

To update loaddefs.el (and similar files), do:

  $ cd lisp
  $ make autoloads

If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap".
If CPU time is not an issue, the most thorough way to rebuild, and
avoid any spurious problems, is always to use this method.

Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the
platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,
etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is
applicable to those systems as well.

Because the Bazaar version of Emacs is a work in progress, it will
sometimes fail to build.  Please wait a day or so (and check the bug
and development mailing list archives) before reporting such problems.
In most cases, the problem is known about and is just waiting for
someone to fix it.
