(1) Create OBJECT_HAS_METHOD(), OBJECT_HAS_PROPERTY() etc. for specifying that a Lisp object type has a particular method or property. Call such methods with OBJECT_METH, MAYBE_OBJECT_METH, OBJECT_METH_OR_GIVEN; retrieve properties with OBJECT_PROPERTY. Methods that formerly required a DEFINE_*GENERAL_LISP_OBJECT() to specify them (getprop, putprop, remprop, plist, disksave) now instead use the dynamic-method mechanism. The main benefit of this is that new methods or properties can be added without requiring that the declaration statements of all existing methods be modified. We have to make the `struct lrecord_implementation' non-const, but I don't think this should have any effect on speed -- the only possible method that's really speed-critical is the mark method, and we already extract those out into a separate (non-const) array for increased cache locality. Object methods need to be reinitialized after pdump, so we put them in separate functions such as face_objects_create(), extent_objects_create() and call them appropriately from emacs.c The only current object property (`memusage_stats_list') that objects can specify is a Lisp object and gets staticpro()ed so it only needs to be set during dump time, but because it references symbols that might not exist in a syms_of_() function, we initialize it in vars_of_(). There is also an object property (`num_extra_memusage_stats') that is automatically initialized based on `memusage_stats_list'; we do that in reinit_vars_of_alloc(), which is called after all vars_of_() functions are called. `disksaver' method was renamed `disksave' to correspond with the name normally given to the function (e.g. disksave_lstream()). (2) Generalize the memory-usage mechanism in `buffer-memory-usage', `window-memory-usage', `charset-memory-usage' into an object-type- specific mechanism called by a single function `object-memory-usage'. (Former function `object-memory-usage' renamed to `total-object-memory-usage'). Generalize the mechanism of different "slices" so that we can have different "classes" of memory described and different "slices" onto each class; `t' separates classes, `nil' separates slices. Currently we have three classes defined: the memory of an object itself, non-Lisp-object memory associated with the object (e.g. arrays or dynarrs stored as fields in the object), and Lisp-object memory associated with the object (other internal Lisp objects stored in the object). This isn't completely finished yet and we might need to further separate the "other internal Lisp objects" class into two classes. The memory-usage mechanism uses a `struct usage_stats' (renamed from `struct overhead_stats') to describe a malloc-view onto a set of allocated memory (listing how much was requested and various types of overhead) and a more general `struct generic_usage_stats' (with a `struct usage_stats' in it) to hold all statistics about object memory. `struct generic_usage_stats' contains an array of 32 Bytecounts, which are statistics of unspecified semantics. The intention is that individual types declare a corresponding struct (e.g. `struct window_stats') with the same structure but with specific fields in place of the array, corresponding to specific statistics. The number of such statistics is an object property computed from the list of tags (Lisp symbols describing the statistics) stored in `memusage_stats_list'. The idea here is to allow particular object types to customize the number and semantics of the statistics where completely avoiding consing. This doesn't matter so much yet, but the intention is to have the memory usage of all objects computed at the end of GC, at the same time as other statistics are currently computed. The values for all statistics for a single type would be added up to compute aggregate values for all objects of a specific type. To make this efficient, we can't allow any memory allocation at all. (3) Create some additional functions for creating lists that specify the elements directly as args rather than indirectly through an array: listn() (number of args given), listu() (list terminated by Qunbound). (4) Delete a bit of remaining unused C window_config stuff, also unused lrecord_type_popup_data.

Package distributions may be placed in this directory.
If present and a package-path is configured, packages can be installed
using the top-level Makefile.

To configure the package path, use the --with-late-packages option to
configure, which specifies a single directory in which to install the
xemacs-packages and mule-packages hierarchies provided.  If this is null,
or contains a Unix-style search path (i.e., a colon is present in the
argument of the --with-late-packages option), you will have to install
the packages by hand.

To find out if a distribution includes bundled packages, type

    make check-available-packages

There are three Make targets that may be available depending on the package
sets supplied.

    make install-bootstrap-packages
        Install a selected set of packages sufficient to support
        downloading and installing packages via the M-x list-packages
        interface.  Chose this if you want to be able to install the
        latest version of each package immediately.

    make install-nomule-packages
        Install the full distribution of packages that do not require a
        Mule-enabled XEmacs.  Choose this package if you don't have a
        Mule-enabled XEmacs and want the convenience of a single-command
        installation.  You can add or update packages via M-x list-packages
        at any time.

    make install-all-packages
        Install the full distribution of packages, including those requiring
        a Mule-enabled XEmacs.  Choose this package if you have a Mule-
        enabled XEmacs and want the convenience of a single-command
        installation.  You can add or update packages via M-x list-packages
        at any time.

DISTRIBUTOR'S NOTE: you may choose what packages you wish to include in
bootstrap.tar.gz, but to make list-packages work you need to include at
least xemacs-base, dired, and efs.  The tarball should unpack directly as
an xemacs-packages tree (and optionaly, a mule-packages tree.  Also, if
either of xemacs-sumo.tar.gz or xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz is provided, the
other should be as well.

If packages are not available with the distribution, you can get them at

    ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz
    http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Tools/XEmacs/bootstrap.tar.gz

and place them in the same directory as this file.  You can also make your
own bootstrap.tar.gz by creating a directory xemacs-packages, then
untarring the packages of your choice into that directory, and tarring the
whole thing up with "tar czf bootstrap.tar.gz xemacs-packages".  (If you
wish to include mule-packages, you should place them in mule-packages as
a sibling of xemacs-packages.)

This facility currently does not support installations which configure
the --with-early-packages, --with-late-packages, or --with-last-packages
options.

This facility currently will not overwrite an existing package
installation, not even if a whole hierarchy (usually the mule-packages)
is missing.  In particular, you cannot use this feature to add the
mule-packages to a package installation which lacks them, even if the
hierarchy is missing, or the xemacs-packages hierarchy was installed
this way.  Nor can you "upgrade" a bootstrap installation to a full
installation.  If you wish to do any of these things you will need to
remove the existing hierarchies.
