---------------
word-wrap implemented. pico mode uses it by default.
optimizations: gpm'ing in a screenful of text takes 1/3 the time it used to.
paste() improved an order of magnitude - went from 26 seconds to
paste(`ls -al /etc`) on my machine to under 2 seconds for the same task.
status bar now displays the current filename
pgup/pgdn now behave similarly (pgup scrolls a whole page)
curses uses nonl mode (now you can bind ^J)
tweak to pico mode search
x-panning, now we can handle >80 character lines
saveas optimization

---------------
added function for cleaner handling of multiple meta keys
embedded tabs are now handled properly. the tab key inserts them now instead
of spaces.
vi-mode bugfix: when loading the mode, change the _current_ buffer's statbar
if you try loading a file that looks like ms-dos style \r\n, you are now asked
if you want to strip the \r's
trailing \n on a file is now preserved across load/save
first version of &source(), a wrapper around do
emacs.aced contributed by jkominek

---------------
vi mode backs up a character when you press esc
pressing just a meta prefix prints that prefix in stat line after a few seconds
without the entry of the next character
zaptoline is now smarter. pgup/pgdn tweaked. about twofold speedup gpm'ing in
a screenful of text.
when stripping \r's from an msdos style file, now checks if each and every line
really did have an \r, and if not, warns the user
redraw status bar when changing buffers, else overlapping buffers won't switch
properly
made splitbuf smarter, now it steals half the current buffer, or if the buffer
is really small it creates an overlapping buffer that takes the whole screen
new buffers shouldn't take the filename with them, also the panning value
should be initialized to 0.
preliminary movebuf and sizebuf
warns you if you modified the current buffer and try to exit without saving
