Hi,

I'd like to submit two packages to NonGNU ELPA: Vcomplete and swsw.

Vcomplete provides a minor mode enhancing the default completion list
buffer.
It is designed to change as little as possible so as to remain
compatible with other enhancements to the default completion interface,
while also providing entry points for advanced users who wish to perform
actions on completion candidates.

>From the package commentary:

When `vcomplete-mode' is active:
- The completion list buffer opens and updates automatically (see
  `vcomplete-auto-update').
- The completion list buffer can be controlled through the
  minibuffer (during minibuffer completion) or the current buffer
  (during in-buffer completion), if it's visible.
- The currently selected completion is highlighted in the
  completion list buffer.

C-n moves point to the next completion.

C-p moves point to the previous completion.

M-RET (C-M-m) chooses the completion at point.

swsw (simple window switching) provides a minor mode for switching to
windows using IDs assigned to them automatically.
It is designed to be easily extensible, providing ways to change how IDs
are displayed and to easily define new actions to be performed on
windows.

>From the package commentary:

When swsw-mode is active:
- A window ID is displayed using a mode line lighter or a display
  function (see `swsw-display-function').
- Window IDs are assigned to all windows on all frames except for
  the minibuffer(by default, see `swsw-scope').
- `other-window' (C-x o by default) is remapped to `swsw-select'.

C-x o ID switches focus to the window which corresponds to ID.

C-x o m switches focus to the minibuffer if it's active.

C-x o 0 ID deletes the window which corresponds to ID.

Both packages include Texinfo manuals (from which the manuals on their
homepages is generated).
Please let me know beforehand if there is intention to add either
package to NonGNU ELPA, so I could update their manuals and add
'.elpaignore' files to their repositories.

Attached are patches for nongnu.git adding these packages.

Regards,
Daniel

PS: I initially intended to submit these packages to GNU ELPA, but
unfortunately I probably won't be able to assign copyright any time
soon. (I'm assuming it would be possible to move them to GNU ELPA in the
future?)
