Heads up: dynamic-loading merge heading into emacs-25

Heads up: dynamic-loading merge heading into emacs-25

[John Wiegley]

This is to let the other developers know that the dynamic-loading branch --
which was specially exempted from the feature freeze due to its maturity on
the week of the freeze -- is going into the emacs-25 branch this week.

I'm making this note here so that there is no surprise at seeing a large
feature enter that branch. Many thanks to Ted for getting this ready!

The merge is now done:

1) I fetched git@github.com:aaptel/emacs-dynamic-module.git dynamic-modules-clean-2
2) Reviewed FETCH_HEAD
3) Cherry-picked the relevant commits into emacs-25

[emacs-25 7cdc5d6] Add catch-all & no-signal version of PUSH_HANDLER
[emacs-25 435cf35] Add portable layer for dynamic loading
[emacs-25 f69cd6b] Add new User Pointer (User_Ptr) type
[emacs-25 307e76c] Add dynamic module module support
[emacs-25 218cacc] Make 'Fload' look for modules
[emacs-25 955e25d] Add dynamic module test and helper script

They can now be merged into master as well, but I won't do it.

Congratulations to Aurélien and Philipp.

For those of us who haven't been paying attention to the dynamic modules 
discussions, can you explain how to test this?  I've built 
--with-modules, but now what?

I'd start with the mod-test code under modules/ but docs and more
examples are definitely welcome.
