[xemacs-hg @ 2001-05-06 08:33:35 by ben] implement printing the selection when it's selected. force redisplay when set-charset-ccl-program called. if bytecomp or byte-optimize need recompiling, then load the .el version of them first, recompile them, and reload the .elc versions to recompile everything else (so we won't be waiting until the cows come home).

This path contains test code for the new XEmacs
Drag'n'Drop code.

To test the code do the following:
1) call 'bash droptest.sh' to create the test files in /tmp
2) load and eval droptest.el in XEmacs
3) Try to do some internal DnD by using the sources and targets
   in the new buffer
4) Do some external DnD:
   4a) OffiX: use files and editor of OffiX
              drag something from files or editor into XEmacs
              drag something from XEmacs to xv (only with OffiX patch,
              editor or files -- files can only move and copy within
              itself, cause OffiX is not quite the right thing to do)
   4b) CDE: use dtfile and dtpad instead, but here everything should
            work.
   4c) MSWindows: well, explorer should do. But only file data
                  should work, and I don't know if the test
                  already handles this.

The misc-user-event now also responds as a button-x-event
to the event-* query functions.

The function of a drag is called dragdrop-drop-dispatch
as you can see in droptest.el. From within the function
you can access the actual misc-user-event through the
current-mouse-event variable.

Short description of the object part of a drop misc-user-event:
( TYPE . DATA )
TYPE is either the symbol dragdrop_MIME
     or the symbol dragdrop_URL

DATA is a list of URL strings if TYPE is dragdrop_URL
     if TYPE is dragdrop_MIME DATA is either a string
     which contains the MIME data, or it is a list of
     ( CONTENT-TYPE CONTENT-ENCODING MIME-DATA )
     CONTENT-TYPE is encoded for tm-view (list, first element type,
	rest key.value conses)
     CONTENT-ENCODING is a string
     MIME-DATA is a string

     CONTENT-TYPE and -ENCODING can be directly supplied to mime/viewer-mode.
