I have now wrapped the merge code in "while-no-input" -- or rather a
direct use of throw-on-input, as I need to differentiate between
normal input and C-g.  

To make it work reliable, I fixed a few places in the C code that
broke the throw-on-input funtionality:

- In unbind_to, Vquit_flag was set unconditionally to Qt, even when
  it was set to value of Vthrow_on_input on entry.

- BYTE_CODE_QUIT didn't test Vthrow_on_input like QUIT does.

It seems to work nicely now.


I have installed the changes, as well as the fix to coding.c reported
in a separate mail in this thread.
