-GTK2: font dialog uses font size zero when 'guifont' is "Courier".  Patch from
-Yasuhiro Matsumoto, 2004 June 8.
+This example doesn't work:
+    :e `=foo . ".c" `
+Inside `` don't use " as the start of a comment.

 For version 7.0:
 -   Include many PATCHES:
+    9   Win32 GuI: The print dialog uses a font which doesn't display multi-byte
+	messages.  Include patch from Vipin Aravind?  Update from Yasuhiro
+	Matsumoto.
+    8   ":winpos" doesn't work.  Patch from Vipin Aravind.
+    8   Add GTK 2.3 file dialog support.  Patch by Grahame Bowland, 2004 Mar 15,
+	but it doesn't use "initdir" or "dflt". (will update patch)
+    8   On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't defined.  Include patch from Cristiano De
+	Michele.  He no longer has such a machine.
+    8   Add file locking.  Lock a file when starting to edit it with flock() or
+	fcntl().  This patch has advisory file locking while reading/writing
+	the file: ~/vim/patches/kahn_file_locking .
+	Do we still want this/
+    8   Add buffer-local autocommands?  Reduces overhead for autocommands that
+	trigger often (inserting a character, switching mode).
+	    :au Event <buffer> do-something
+	E.g.:
+	    :au BufEnter <buffer> menu enable ...
+	    :au BufLeave <buffer> menu disable ...
+	Patch from Yakov Lerner, including test (2004 Jan 7).
+        He'll send updated patch.
+    Autocommands:
+	VimResized	    - When the Vim window has been resized (SIGWINCH)

+    --- responses above
+    7   Make "5dd" on last-but-one-line not delete anything (Vi compatible).
+	Add flag in 'cpoptions' for this.  When not present, "2dd" in the last
+	line should delete the last line.  Patch from greenx 2002 Apr 11.
+    8   Accelerators don't work in a dialog.  Include patch from Martin Dalecki
+	(Jan 3, tested by David Harrison).  Should work with Alt-o then.
+    7   Use accelerators for the Motif file selection dialog.  Patch from

+    8   Patches from "Rain Dog" Cucka:

+	'flipcase' variable: upper/lowercase pairs.
+	Insert comma's between pairs and allow a range, make it look like
+	'isfname'.  E.g. ":set flipcase=a-zA-Z,xX,23-33:143-153".  The colon to
+	separate the from and to part is optional.
+    -   Win32: add options to print dialog.  Patch from Vipin Aravind.
+    -   Patch to add highlighting for whitespace. (Tom Schumm, 2003 Jul 5)

+	been given values.

+    7   Add "DefaultFG" and "DefaultBG" for the colors of the menu. (Martin
+	Dalecki has a patch for Motif)
+    -   Add possibility to highlight specific columns (for Fortran).  Or put a
+	line in between columns (e.g. for 'textwidth').
+	Patch to add 'hlcolumn' from Vit Stradal, 2004 May 20.
+    9   Add cursor-column highlighting.  Enable it with 'cursorcolumn' option,

+	(Sergey Khorev)
+    8   Make 'statusline' local, so that each window can have a different
+	value.  But should it also be local to a buffer? (Yegappan Lakshmanan
+	has a patch, 2002 feb 15)
+    8   In the gzip plugin, also recognize *.gz.orig, *.gz.bak, etc.  Like it's
+	done for filetype detection.  Patch from Walter Briscoe, 2003 Jul 1.
+    7   Add a "-@ filelist" argument: read file names from a file. (David
+	Kotchan has a patch for it)
+    8   Add term entries for function keys on xterm with alt and ctrl (new in
+	pl 94).  E.g., Control adds ";5" in "<Esc>[20;5~".  Find a generic way

+	individual modified key.
+	Steve Wall has a patch (2002 Mar 12) for adding function keys up to 37,
+	with modifiers.

+	patches from Felbinger for a mathematica interface.
+	Or use emacs server kind of thing?

+	get_lisp_indent().  Esp. \( and \) should be skipped. (Dorai Sitaram,
+	incomplete patch Mar 18)
+    8   Sorting of filenames for completion is wrong on systems that ignore
+	case of filenames.  Add 'ignorefncase' option.  When set, case in
+	filenames is ignored for sorting them. Patch by Mike Williams:
+	~/vim/patches/ignorefncase.  Also change what matches?  Or use another
+	option name.
+-   Change ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
+    incremented/decremented each time.
 -   new DATA TYPES: lists, dictionaries and function references.
+	Check old patch from Robert Webb for array support.
     Add type checking?  See ~/vim/ideas.txt.
 -   Add SPELLCHECKER, with easy to add support for many languages.
+    8   Add spell checking.  Use "ispell -a" somehow.
+	~/vim/patches/wm_vim-5_4d.zip  can be used as an example (includes
+	ispell inside Vim).  Gautam Iyer has an example with "aspell".
+	"engspchk" from Charles Campbell is a good way.  Support for
+	approximate-regexps will help (agrep http://www.tgries.de/agrep/).
 -   REFACTORING: The main() function is very long.  Move parts to separate
     functions, especially loops.  Ideas from Walter Briscoe (2003 Apr 3, 2004
     Feb 9).
+-   Improve the interface between the generic GUI code and the system-specific
+    code.  Generic code handles text window with scrollbars, system-specific
+    code menu, toolbar, etc.
 -   Store messages to allow SCROLLING BACK for all commands.  And other "less"
     like commands.
 -   "INTELLISENSE".  First cleanup the Insert-mode completion.
