highlight-tail v1.3.4

Hi, 

New version (1.3.4) of highlight-tail-mode is out.

Webpage: http://nic-nac-project.net/~necui/ht.html

highlight-tail is a eyecandy minor-mode for (X)Emacs.  It changes
the background color of some last typed characters and smoothly
fade them out to the background color.  This creates the illusion
of drawing a "tail" in real time, when you write.  I know I'm
hopeless at explaining :) so you can see highlight-tail in action
here: http://nic-nac-project.net/~necui/img/htshow.gif or/and try
it.

==============================
Here are the changes since last time I posted highlight-tail here:

* 1.3.4 (01 Nov 2006)
     + Use `color-values' function instead of
       `color-name-rgb-alist' variable so that highlight-tail
       should work in Emacs on Windows and is simpler.  Thanks to
       Kevin Rodgers for reporting.
     + cl is now used only at compile time.  Thanks to Richard
       Stallman for reporting.

==============================
And here is the code:

;;; highlight-tail.el --- draw a "tail" while writing, by smoothly changing background color

VC support for bzr

[Sorry if this eventually turns up twice, but gnu-emacs-sources seems
to have eaten the original attempt.]

This provides basic support for the bzr system in VC.  I'd be
interested in any comments before sending it in the direction of bzr.
Per the commentary, I realize there's another implementation.

Caveats:  Various problems with VC itself prevent proper support for
non-RCS-like formats and apparently won't be fixed, so some aspects of
handling version tags and log files fail.  Also it seems that bzr
isn't stable, so there may well be problems with future versions of it.

globalff.el: globalff can be used as a universal file selector

Added experimental universal file selector feature. Globalff can be
used to select a path in any application, not just Emacs.

It's a bit rough on the edges, but working.

There were requests for more explanation what this feature is about, so
here it is:

Using globalff it is easy to select any file on the system by typing
some characters in its name provided there is an up to to date locate
database.

Globalff is so convenient for me that I wanted to use it in other
applications too, for example when opening a file in my browser or any
other application.

Suppose you're in your browser and pressed Ctrl+O to open a file, but
don't want to traverse the directories with the clumsy open dialog.
Instead you press a global hotkey which invokes emacs (which runs all
the time of course) via gnuclient. Eamcs pops up a globalff frame on
the screen, you type some characters, select the required file, press
ENTER. The popup frame disappears and the selected path is sent to the
active application with xte.

So convenient and quick file selection can be used in any application,
not just emacs.

highlight-tail v1.3.6

     + No line exceeds 80 column.

* 1.3.5 (11 Nov 2006)
     + Do not activate if run under terminal (because it leads to
       errors).

And here is the code:
