Olivier Galibert <galibert(a)pobox.com&gt; writes: I know, but I think emacs.c is far from nice anyway, with functions hundreds of lines long and scattered with #ifdefs. Also I think the save&restore changes the semantics as changes to the variables made in the lisp executed before dumping are unconditionally tossed. (Not that changing things like inhibit-autoloads in lisp in load-up.el would be very useful.) Anyway, I don't have strong feelings about this. You guys decide. Gunnar
