I have just some minor changes to org-mode itself (maybe they are
included in org-mode now, I am not sure). The enhancements I have is
about searching. I often start to search some things with isearch in a
buffer then I switch to searching all buffers very easily. I also have
some minor changes for searching a litte bit more complex things (like
DOI-numbers). Those things are real time savers for me. Hopefully they
can be moved easily to Emacs itself when I have time. (I have to pull
some elisp functions apart to do this, but the changes are very
simple.)

Unfortunately these changes are not in any uploaded build yet. My
change to 64-bit windows ruined my build environment and with a lack
of time I have not had time to fix this.
