Alright... I built it and was going to use it, but I hit one
show-stopper immediately: the `split-{height,width}-threshold' variables
seem to be ignored: I have the former set to 80, the latter to 150 and
`pop-up-windows' to t, but with window-pub a 59x158 window is
split vertically, making Emacs pretty much unusable for me.

The docstrings state that the above variables are obsolete and one
should use `display-buffer-names' etc., but I have no idea how to get
the previous correct behaviour (I assume messing with `min-width' and
similar inside `display-buffer-names' might be the way to go, but I
don't see why the obsolete variables should not be respected when the
new ones are nil by default anyway).
