    I think we should install this.  On GNU/Linux neither Nautilus or Konqueror 
    (file browsers for Gnome and KDE) puts the host name in files dropped.  So 
    there is basically no way a user can drop remote files onto Emacs in 
    GNU/Linux.

I don't think that changes the question.  We can wait to implement the feature
until it works on GNU/Linux.

Emacs must not be distorted into a means of making Windows more
attractive!
