There are many more clean-ups to do, like hundreds of "`save-excursion'
defeated by `set-buffer'", and simplify makefile not to load the whole
ESS for every single byte compiled file. These have never been a
priority I assume, and is still not at this time. I will try to find
time to do that, but I am afraid not for the next release, which is
really close now.
