- Probably not, because I don't have time. The current beta version of
- lemacs has had many FSF changes merged in to it, along with a lot of
- internal improvements. Most of the files in the lemacs lisp/prim/
- directory have been merged against their FSF counterparts, but the
- rest of the lisp library has not.

- This is something that a volunteer could easily do, since it doesn't

- Likewise, I don't have much time to hack documentation if you want all of
- these redisplay bugs fixed...
-
- I'm also still looking for some noble volunteer to add "configure" support
- to lemacs. This should be quite simple with the current lemacs beta, since
- at this point, the lemacs s/ and m/ directories are basically identical to
- their GNU19 counterparts.
