(FRINGE_ID_BITS): New definition for number of bits allocated to hold a fringe number. Increase number of bits from 4 to 8 to allow user defined fringe bitmaps. (struct glyph_row, struct it): New members left_user_fringe_bitmap, left_user_fringe_face_id, right_user_fringe_bitmap, right_user_fringe_face_id. (enum fringe_bitmap_type, struct fringe_bitmap, fringe_bitmaps): Move to new file fringe.c. (MAX_FRINGE_BITMAPS): Define here. (struct draw_fringe_bitmap_params): New members bits, cursor_p, and overlay_p. Change member which to int. (struct redisplay_interface): New members define_fringe_bitmap and destroy_fringe_bitmap. (valid_fringe_bitmap_id_p): Add prototype. (w32_init_fringe, w32_reset_fringes) [WINDOWS_NT]: Add prototypes.

@quotation
  Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming
language called Emacs Lisp.  You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, Emacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  Emacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes Emacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
