That looks fine. I will start using CVS zile now (I had been using 
Debian's 1.7b3) and that should help me check (and find more bugs).

It's nice to see the allegro interface. Having zile easily running under 
different terminals without the need for emulation could be a good 
selling point and give it another niche as a nice editor that is easy to 
make the first you port to a new platform.

I have a bit more free time at the moment, so I hope I will soon be able 
to get the termcap interface working properly. I also thought of doing a 
direct vt100 interface (which would also work under xterm) and be a good 
alternative to termcap for OSes that don't have it (of course, where 
termcap does exist, it is the most portable version). Then ncurses 
remains as the fastest interface, and the one with the best keyboard 
support (at least, so far).

Also, I think it would be good to start making 1.8-a releases soon. Any 
objections? We're not going to make it in time for sarge (that will be 
1.7-b3 plus patches), but it would be good nonetheless to have a sense 
of progress towards a new stable release. Maybe Nicolas will make us a 
backports.org release of a stable version of zile once we have it.
