Someone gently pointed out off-list that I am perhaps being too hasty in
abandoning this approach so soon. To be honest, I don't really
understand how Emacs development works -- it seems to be an anarchic
free-for-all, but I have trouble accepting that this could possibly be
the case.
Anyway, the patch is as complete as I can make it. It is no trouble to
regenerate it; I have done many updates and recreations in the past few
weeks. All that remains is a "go" or "no-go" from the powers that be.
