Changes:
- applied UNIX patch reported to help recent hang-related problems
- switch to built-in malloc (requested by emacs maintainers, supposedly will reduce
memory usage)
- numerous patches to LISP source for various features in common with Windows emacs
- complete recompile of all LISP files
The LISP patches have to do with conditionals that test the system type. I went
through all such and added cygwin to the places where it obviously belonged, such
as: ignore case when completing file names in shell mode, allow directory rename
to change case in dired mode, etc.
