emacs and guile...

[Ken Raeburn <raeburn at raeburn dot org>]

Looks like this list is mostly dead, but in case there's any interest, 
I've been banging on the Emacs CVS code recently and have a version 
which starts up, runs dired, edits a file, etc., in a terminal window 
on my Mac laptop.  Okay, that's not very interesting; what is more 
interesting is that it's using Guile's allocator and GC, and smob 
representations for most of the non-trivial Lisp object types.  
(Conversions shouldn't be hard, but closer integration of the types 
will take some work.)

There are still plenty of bugs (for starters, it doesn't bootstrap yet, 
hasn't been tested on a window system, and uses an unreadable color 
scheme in a color xterm window), so I'm not looking for new bug reports 
without patches right now, but if anyone else is interested in banging 
on it and helping me fix problems, I can make a copy available.
