Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
(rmail): Go back to using find-file for reading in the mail file. This avoids gratuitous modification of the file. (rmail-decode-region): Doc string, cleanup. (rmail-decode-by-content-type): New function. (rmail-decode-messages): Use it. Add FROM and TO args and only process messages in that region. (rmail-get-new-mail): Call `rmail-decode-region' before `rmail-process-new-messages'.

we use a C preprocesor not only in the normal compilation of .c files
into object files, but also for creating

	src/Makefile
	lib-src/Makefile

(delimited by comment "start of cpp stuff").  some cpp implementations
insert whitespace in between tokens, which explains the "$(dot)$(dot)"
and "UNEXEC_ALIAS" workarounds for unixoid systems and the bundled
tradcpp/ for vms.  [NOTE: tradcpp/ not yet checked in.]

during makefile creation, the preprocessor symbol NOT_C_CODE is defined.
this should not be defined for normal .c file compilation.

there has been discussion on eliminating this use of cpp and relying
solely on autoconf processing.  rms says to leave it be.
