Rename Qinit_pre_mswindows_win, Qinit_post_mswindows_win. (mswindows_init_device): Call #'make-device-early-mswindows-entry-point here, instead of having its predecessor call us. (mswindows_finish_init_device): Call #'make-device-early-mswindows-entry-point, for symmetry with the other device types (though it's an empty function). * device-gtk.c (Qmake_device_early_gtk_entry_point, Qmake_device_late_gtk_entry_point): New. Rename Qinit_pre_gtk_win, Qinit_post_gtk_win. (gtk_init_device): Call #'make-device-early-gtk-entry-point; don't load ~/.xemacs/gtk-options.el ourselves, leave that to lisp. (gtk_finish_init_device): Call #'make-device-late-gtk-entry-point with the created device as an argument.
