*** 9,24 ****
  
  Small but important fixes needed in existing features:
  
- * Bring back the feature of showing the part of the buffer that is a problem
-   for the use of the preferred coding systems.
- 
  * Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci
    on text properties in the error message lines.
  
  Important features:
  
  * Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
!   display a font as a sample, etc.
  
  * Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF.  [Is there actually a
    decent single definition of RTF?]

  * Make movemail work with IMAP.
  
! * Internationalize Emacs's messages.
! 
! * Port Emacs to GTK+.  (Relevant work has been done already.)
! 
! * Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text.
  
  * Remove the limitation that window and frame widths and heights can
    be only full columns/lines.

  * Make movemail work with IMAP.
  
! * Internationalize Emacs's messages.  [Note that this is of limited
!   use until the menus can display multilingual text.  It also doesn't
!   address important issues like using the names of symbols essentially
!   as documentation, e.g. in command names and Custom.  -- fx]
! 
! * Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text.  [This
!   probably needs to be done from actual Emacs buffers, either directly
!   in the menu or by rendering in an unmapped window and copying the
!   pixels.  Note that the relevant Xlib functions assume a specific
!   locale; that isn't good enough even if X can render the arbitrary
!   text, which it often can't as far as I can tell.  -- fx]

    for undoing.
  
  * Merge the Emacs regex.c with the Glibc regex.c.
!   They split off a few years ago through negligance.
  
  * Change the Windows NT menu code
    so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids

  * Support simultaneous tty and X frames.
  
! * Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library.
  
  * Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char
    mismatches that we get with proprietary compilers on various systems.

!   not now feasible, given Gnus maintenance decisions.  fx looked at
!   this and can say where some of the problems are.]

    holidays, quoting characters?,...
  
  * Improve the GC (generational, incremental).  (We may be able to use
!   the Boehm collector.)
  
  * Check what hooks would help Emacspeak -- see the defadvising in W3.

*** 161,168 ****
  * Provide an optional feature which computes a scroll bar slider's
    size and its position from lines instead of characters.
  
! * Integrate Vroonhof's Custom themes code and make it do useful
!   things.  [The integration is partly done.]
  
  * Adapt the gnuserv/gnudoit features for server/emacsclient.

*** 204,211 ****
  * Provide portable undumping using mmap (per gerd design).
  
  * Replace gmalloc.c with the modified Doug Lea code from the current
!   GNU libc so that the special mmapping of buffers can be removed  --
!   that apparently loses under Solaris, at least.
  
  * Use the XIE X extension, if available, for image display.

--- 250,266 ----
    cvs-status (should be described in PCL-CVS manual); other progmodes,
    probably in separate manual.
  
+ * Provide a means to extract image-relative coordinates from mouse
+   clicks on images.  (Needed for W3, at least.)  Also useful for W3
+   and Gnus: allow images to scroll properly.
+ 
+ * Convert the XPM bitmaps to PPM, replace the PBMs with them and scrap
+   the XPMs so that the colour versions work generally.  (Requires care
+   with the colour used for the transparent regions.)
+ 
  * Convenient access to the `values' variable.  It would be nice to have an
    interface that would show you the printed reps of the elements of the
    list in a menu, let you select one of the values, and put it into some
    other variable, without changing the value of `values'.
+ 
+ * Fix skip-chars-{for,back}ward to allow character classes.
