(Qbar, Qhbar, Qbox, Qhollow, Vblink_cursor_alist): Variables consolidated here. (Valternate_cursor_type, Qalternate_cursor_type): New variables. (Vcursor_in_non_selected_windows): Renamed from cursor_in_non_selected_windows and changed to Lisp_Object. (syms_of_xdisp): Define and staticpro new and moved variables. (get_specified_cursor_type): Renamed from x_specified_cursor_type; consolidated here. Recognize Qhollow setting. (set_frame_cursor_types): New function to set frame cursor types based on the frame parameters. (get_window_cursor_type): New function to calculate new cursor type and width for the specified window. Based on duplicated code consolidated here. Enhancements: cursor-in-non-selected-windows may be a cursor type, check buffer-local alternate-cursor-type and blink-cursor-alist before using built-in blink off methods.

	      Building and Installing Emacs from CVS

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

  $ ./configure
  $ make bootstrap

The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt
before it builds the final Emacs binary.

Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS
update.  Unless there are problems, we suggest the following
procedure:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ cd lisp
  $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs
  $ cd ..
  $ make

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

If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap".

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.

Note that "make bootstrap" overwrites some files that are under CVS
control, such as lisp/loaddefs.el.  This could produce CVS conflicts
next time that you resync with the CVS.  If you see such conflicts,
overwrite your local copy of the file with the clean version from the
CVS repository.  For example:

    cvs update -C lisp/loaddefs.el

Please report any bugs in the CVS versions to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.
