IIUC, the main obstacle is that window configurations currently don't have
a read syntax. Once this is implemented it would be possible to define
different layouts (with window properties), save/restore them, etc.
From a recent discussion, I remember that now Emacs has the hash table
read syntax compatible with XEmacs. Since XEmacs have lots of other
object types, maybe XEmacs already has a read syntax for window
configurations too? In this case, it would be easier to keep
compatibility with XEmacs in ECB.
