So far, the only point of divergence that we've identified is over 8+3 file name support. The gnulib folks have made it reasonably clear that they don't want to be restricted to an 8+3 filename namespace for their source file names. Right now this is not a problem with gnulib and Emacs, since the file names imported from gnulib happen not to clash. It is a problem with some other files in the Emacs trunk, though. I've proposed to address this by modifying the MS-DOS build procedure rather than by renaming the files; see . The goal is to allow non-MS-DOS developers to stop worrying about the 8+3 problem, for names of files imported from gnulib and for other similar file names.
