I can do this. I assume Ben meant a C primitive, not a lisp function
using the same bind focus-follows-mouse and sit-for 0 hack. This
should be easy, and I will clean up those messy externs while I'm at
it. Then I'll update the docs not to mention that abomination.
BTW Hrvoje, thanks for cleaning up my docs patch.

OK. Ben do you intend these to just be macros using select-frame and
unwind-protect?

Hrvoje> Why not the opposite -- nil under Windows, and true under Unix?
OK, but I have no clue how to do these last two....
