+ v138: May 01, 2010 * added the bomb setting to the Save-Set-Restore
+ option handling (for Tony M)
+ * (Bram Moolenaar) netrw optionally sets cursorline
+ (and sometimes cursorcolumn) for its display.
+ This option setting was leaking through with
+ remote file handling.
+ v137: Dec 28, 2009 * modified the preview window handling for
+ vertically split windows. The preview
+ window will take up all but g:netrw_winsize
+ columns of the original window; those
+ g:netrw_winsize columns will be used for
+ the netrw listing.
+ * (Simon Dambe) removed "~" from

+ * (Bram Moolenaar) modified test for status bar
+ click with leftmouse. Moved code to
+ s:NetrwLeftmouse().
+ Feb 24, 2010 * (for Jean Johner) added insert-mode maps; one
+ can get into insert mode with netrw via
+ ctrl-o :e .
+ Mar 15, 2010 * (Dominique Pellé) Directory with backslashes such
+ as foo\bar were not being entered/left properly
