nifty new things:  tag tools like Put, Undo, Redo appear only when
helpful.  We remember where in the undo history is the version of the
file which is on disk.  Pane rearrangement stuff better (but can still
use work).  Some portability problems made easier to work on/fixed
(S_ISDIR, malloc and realloc check for null arguments).  Directories
are refetched when they change width.  Binaries have nulls stripped
out, to save on core dumps.  A cut/paste in the one action leaves the
file unmodified, nice for snarfing something out of a file.

Todo:  see the TODO file.  The documentation is getting further out of
date.  Probably need a port.h and port.c to localize things like
realpath.  The message protocol, of course.

Any Makefile experts out there?  I'd like:  a top-level Makefile that
will do everything, Makefiles to share common bits (so e.g. I only need
to modify one file to add a new object file, rather than 10).

What do people think would be easier/better:  grabbing Sam's regexp
code for Runes, or modifying some other regexp library to use Runes
rather than characters?

Looking forward to the day I'll be confident enough to compile with -O
-DNDEBUG rather than -g :-)
