Quick!  Somebody give me a way of implementing `with-timeout' in
XEmacs _without_ relying on timer.el.

In mm-url.el there is...

(defun mm-url-insert (url &optional follow-refresh)
  "Insert the contents from an URL in the current buffer.
If FOLLOW-REFRESH is non-nil, redirect refresh url in META."
  (let ((times mm-url-retries)
	(done nil)
	(first t)
	result)
    (while (and (not (zerop (decf times)))
		(not done))
      (with-timeout (mm-url-timeout)
	(unless first
	  (message "Trying again (%s)..." (- mm-url-retries times)))
	(setq first nil)
	(if follow-refresh
	    (save-restriction
	      (narrow-to-region (point) (point))
	      (mm-url-insert-file-contents url)
	      (goto-char (point-min))
	      (when (re-search-forward
		     "<meta[ \t\r\n]*http-equiv=\"Refresh\"[^>]*URL=\\([^\"]+\\)\"" nil t)
		(let ((url (match-string 1)))
		  (delete-region (point-min) (point-max))
		  (setq result (mm-url-insert url t)))))
	  (setq result (mm-url-insert-file-contents url)))
	(setq done t)))
    result))

It's the _only_ timing related thing in Gnus that XEmacs can't seem to
do with itimer.  Because of this single form the XEmacs Gnus package
must require the "fsf-compat" package to get `with-timeout' from
timer.el.

This obviously isn't a show-stopper, or even a bug for that matter,
but I'd be one happy camper if someone could help me with this.  I'd
_*REALLY REALLY*_ like the XEmacs Gnus package to _*NOT*_ need the
fsf-compat package.

Thanks!

FWIW, that's also the reason why Tramp needs fsf-compat...

Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone.

The expansion of with-timeout looks rather complicated, I would be
happy if I didn't have to include it in Tramp.

Hm.  It seems to be the same in Emacs and in XEmacs.  So it appears
that XEmacs has no alternative implementation for doing the same job
-- else I'd guess that the compat macro would use it.

So one approach would be to declare with-timeout a new feature instead
of a compat thing.

But I might be misunderstanding, and the with-timeout implementation
in XEmacs is the same as the one in Emacs for a different reason.  I
don't know much about XEmacs specifics.

Well XEmacs uses itimer, with-timeout uses timer.  That's why it's a
compat thing.  What's needed is an itimer equivalent of
`with-timeout'.

Yeah, the person who added it to the XEmacs fsf-compat package was too
lazy to implement it using XEmacs API's. :-)

Ah!  OK.  So you're looking for with-itimeout ;-)

Well, there's at least one major bug left which I reported in
<m3y8sr27r1.fsf@fed1.frank-schmitt.net> in gnus.bug. I don't know about
the usage patterns of other Gnus users, but I use "Resend edit" quite
frequently and I really think this should be fixed.

Fixing it would (if I understand the interactions with the PGP code
and stuff, which I don't) be somewhat complicated, so it'll have to
remain broken for Gnus 5.10, I think.

Well, it brake after the first release of Gnus 5.10 and as far as I
understood all following commits should have been bug fixes and no
changes in functionality.

Yes.  What it fixed was the ability to send PGP-encoded articles.

Ok, I agree that this is more important than the feature which broke.
