* generic.el: Incorporates extensive cleanup and docfixes by Stefan Monnier (monnier+gnu/[e-mail]). Uses cl compile-time macros. (generic-mode-name, generic-comment-list, generic-keywords-list, generic-font-lock-expressions, generic-mode-function-list, generic-mode-syntax-table): Removed variables. (generic-mode-alist): Renamed to generic-mode-list. (generic-find-file-regexp): Default changed to "^#". (generic-read-type): Uses completing read on generic-mode-list. (generic-mode-sanity-check): removed this function. (generic-add-to-auto-mode): Removed this function (generic-mode-internal): Binds mode-specific definitions into function instead of putting them in alist. (generic-mode-set-comments): Reworked extensively. (generic-mode-find-file-hook): Simplified regexp searching (generic-make-keywords-list): Omit extra pair of parens

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.
