Yes, I wish I had more time to dedicate to emacs ...
but there is just too much to do running my own business.

From my first impressions with 24.4, I can see that
emacs developments are still going strong! Good work!


I have taken a shot at adding the missing cua features to 24.4

I don't have time to try to get up to date with the repository stuff,
so I have just included some patches for you to look at -- please
commit them if you think they are acceptable (they are only lightly
tested so far).

Note that the new defcustom is unconditionally set to ?0
by cua-mode if cua-mode-copy-to-register-0 is enabled (default),

Also, the new replace command only works if save-to-register
is non-nil, as it uses the old-text copy in that register (instead
of saving another copy as the original code in cua did).

Finally, using a C-u arg should replace until eob according to the
doc string -- it actually replaces max 1000000 instances; this
is just laziness on my part.
