True.

If you look at the version included with CVS emacs, you'll find that I
actually have split off most of the rectangle support and global mark
support into separate files.

The reason it is still associated with cua-mode as such is that it still
need the fundamental command remapping which cua-mode does.  I found it
very difficult to separate the two and still maintain the CUA functionality.

Of course, one could take the cua-base.el file and make a new file which
only contains the code necessary to make the new rectangle support work.

Hm, shouldn't be that difficult...  Only "problem" will be that the
commands and variables for the new rectangle supports still uses the cua-
prefix ...

.. but that should be OK, as it just shows the origin of the new
rectangle support [just like ange-ftp does, IIUC].
