Bad news
--------

o VM scroll-in-place problem with MIME articles still there.
o Gnus startup hang when nntp folders contain messages with ^From
  lines in body still there (sorry Lars).

Good news
---------

o VM vm-auto-folder-alist problem seems to be gone.
o igrep works
o efs works

Whining
-------

o 250k core still left in top-level directory by configure
o I use light text (wheat1) on dark background (gray20), and default 
  dired-face-permissions colors are horrible (wheat1, I guess inherited
  from default), and gray75.  Yuck.  I changed it with edit-faces, but
  it's a shame the default is so ugly.

Other
-----

Frame-icon works (thanks Steve and Bob and whoever else), but please
consider something like the following changes/additions:

It does the following:

o Changes icon for c-mode from escherknot.xbm to c.xbm.
o Define icons for awk-mode, cvs-mode, f90-mode, and xrdb-mode.
 - Yes, it's stretching it to give f90-mode wizard.xbm, but it's almost
   fair since fortran-mode is given RIP.xbm :).  Seriously, I'd rather
   see f77.xbm and f90.xbm created for these modes (like c.xbm and c++.xbm,
   but I don't have time right now, and isn't someone's working on color
   icons anyway?
o Changes icons for VM to scroll2.xbm, which is much nicer than mail.xbm,
  IMHO.
