Actually, if you configure lemacs with the --with-epoch flag, the C
side of all of these is in 19.10.  Albeit with different names.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the lisp side done before the
19.10 release.  I hope to complete it in a couple of weeks.  When it
is available I will announce it here and on the alt.lucid-emacs groups
and it will be available for ftp along with the rest of lemacs.

There won't be a reparent screen since lemacs uses a widget structure.
It is possible to compile lemacs such that it can act as a widget
which can then be embedded in other programs.  As for the rest, it
will probalby be sometime in the farther future, probably the 19.12 or
19.13 time frame.
