(enum window_part): New enumeration. (Qleft_fringe, Qright_fringe): Replace Qleft_bitmap_area and Qright_bitmap_area. (coordinates_in_window): Return an enumerator from enum window_part. Fix handling of right scroll bar. (Fcoordinates_in_window_p): Doc fix. Return `left-fringe' and `right-fringe' instead of `left-bitmap-area' and `right-bitmap-area'. Use enumerators from enum window_part instead of hard-coded integers. (check_window_containing, window_from_coordinates): Use enumerators from enum window_part instead of hard-coded integers. (syms_of_window): Replace Qleft_bitmap_area and Qright_bitmap_area.with Qleft_fringe and Qright_fringe.

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.
