No. > Distribute it in Emacs. So you're proposing to distribute a compatibility library in Emacs that outside packages will have to include (because it is not enough for Emacs to have it, outside packages will need to duplicate it, and keep it up-to-date). A compatibility library that should make the Emacs trunk compatible with any other Emacs out there (at the very least, several Emacs releases and perhaps most XEmacs releases, not to count SXEmacs). So you're suddenly moved the burden of compatibility with anything out there to the Emacs maintainers. And this is a simplification because...? But hey, please don't let my doubts dissuade you about creating such library and including it in EmacsW32 :-) =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
