And now, for an exploding XEmacs

Now the portable dumper dumps the data, and when restarting loads the data, relocate/relink everything, and nicely bombs in init_console_stream. Destroy-your-own-xemacs-HOWTO: - compile with --pdump - see the "xemacs not found" error message - see that there is a new src/xemacs.dmp file - do cd src; temacs - look at the nice core If you compile without --pdump, everything works as usual. It would be nice if a windows developer would try to compile with --pdump. I _tried_ to do it right, but I don't know what the level of support of open/read/write/close is. The next step is having it go through init_console_stream. The problem is, I don't understand yet what should and shouldn't be done. The situation is a bit weird, with initialize=1, all dumped variables available, but with Vterminal_{console,device,frame} not dumped. For now it breaks on Fset('device, device *) with 'device unbounded. Any help or hints about how it should work welcome. OG.
