I think this patch basically achieves what it set out to do now:
- "pinning" windows
- "grouping" windows
pinning and grouping together makes it possible to implement context
windows surrounding an edit area(much like the emacs gdb interface looks
like, but without the inconvenience that c-x 1 in the edit area
destroys the entire layout)
There are other things that are needed that I think are outside the scope of
this particular patch:
- making a set of buffers live in a particular context window, for
instance compilation output should be configurable to always go to a
special compilation output window. (I intuit this could be done at the
elisp level with buffer local variables)
Whatever interface is chosen could presumably also be used for tab
support.
- understand why the speedbar has to be a frame and make it possible to
put it in a context window instead(The ECB does this already somehow)
