I've merged the Nextstep manual into macos.texi; please take a look, and
let me know if there are any problems.

What is the plan for "proper C-g handling" for the Cocoa/GNUstep port
before the Emacs 23.1 pretest?  I think it is the most fundamental and
crucial functionality that the current implementation is missing.

Three things I'm aware of need to be done:

1) complete removal of all Feval() calls in bad places as discussed  
earlier on this list

2) go through the code comparing nsterm and macterm input handling to  
make sure all ctrl-g related processing is similar

3) make sure that some sort of interrupt mechanism is in place to pick  
up ctrl-g events when emacs core is busy processing and does not make  
any input requests to the NS code (colored spinning disk shown in gui)

(1) is straightforward by using custom 'nonascii-keystroke' events,  
except for the case of input-method handling when in isearch mode,  
where passing such an event breaks out of the isearch entry.  (2) is  
more or less done, or was at one point.  I did some experimentation  
for (3) a while ago but failed, and some investigation is needed.
