* callproc.c (strerror): Remove decl. * fileio.c (strerror): Likewise. * process.c (strerror): Likewise. * emacs.c (strerror): Likewise. (Vsystem_messages_locale): Renamed from Vmessages_locale. All uses changed. (Vprevious_system_messages_locale): Likewise, from Vprevious_messages_locale. (Vsystem_time_locale): Likewise, from Vtime_locale. (Vprevious_system_time_locale): Likewise, from Vprevious_time_locale. (ABORT_RETURN_TYPE): New macro. (abort): Return type is now ABORT_RETURN_TYPE. (main): Always invoke init_signals, even if POSIX_SIGNALS is not defined. (syms_of_emacs): messages-locale -> system-messages-locale, previous-messages-locale -> previous-system-messages-locale, time-locale -> system-time-locale, previous-time-locale -> previous-system-time-locale. * gmalloc.c (PP, __ptr_t): Assume ANSI C if STDC_HEADERS is defined. (const): Do not define; that's config.h's job. (<limits.h>): Include if HAVE_LIMITS_H is defined. (CHAR_BIT): Move test for definedness outside of limits.h condition. (<stddef.h>): Include if STDC_HEADERS is defined. (FREE_RETURN_TYPE): New macro. (free): Return type is now FREE_RETURN_TYPE. * lisp.h (synchronize_system_time_locale): Renamed from synchronize_time_locale. All uses changed. (synchronize_system_messages_locale): Likewise, from synchronize_messages_locale. * process.c (sys_siglist): Remove. * syntax.c (scan_sexps_forward): Use abort, not assert. * sysdep.c (my_sys_siglist): New var. (sys_siglist): New macro. Remove old initialized vars of same name. (init_signals): Initialize sys_siglist. * xfns.c (abort): Remove decl; stdlib.h now does this.

* 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.
