    Sebastian Kremer <sk@thp.Uni-Koeln.DE> has been working on the
  definitive dired.el for about three months now, and it seems that this
  is the version which will find it's way into Emacs 19.  It incorporates
  many of the extensions found in the LCD on ohio-state, and is cramed with
  other features as well.

    Dired.el is on beta-test at the moment, which is why you haven't seen
  it generally distributed.  However, Sebastian has posted a couple of
  messages regarding it's existance and availability.  I suggest that you
  get in touch with him for further information (he's away at the moment
  ... anyone remember when he gets back?)
