Hmmm.. Somebody is just contributing a whole new DLL support module

on to keep the two more or less in line the XEmacs side would screw
it up.
IMHO this a major reason to stay with the old method for XEmacs or
alternatively that the new implementation be sent to RMS for
inclusion in stead.
I disagree with this reasoning. With all due respect to Bill's worthy
contribution of cross-platform low-level DLL code, the new elisp-level
code looked better and more polished than anything we had before.
Perhaps J. Kean Johnston would be prepared to argue with Stallman over
this, but given his bad experiences a few messages before, I doubt it.
