Why not simply run it in console mode?  Unlike previous versions, 21
offers text colours, hilighting &c. in console mode--and it's very
fast.  The only oddities are things like C <down-arrow> not skipping
paragraphs in text mode on the console.

If you're going to live in conditions that require a full time life
support system, you might as well get the low gravity to go with it.

I know that you can do this and that's where tools like Stow and
Pkglink come in.  However, most people find a simple "configure; make;
make install" is good enough for them *UNTIL* they get to the point of
wanting to uninstall (think ahead? who me?).  Having "make install"
install an "uninstaller" would take care of this and it's really not
that difficult to implement:

        install: $(TARGETS)
                for x in $(TARGETS); do \
                        echo $(RM) $(TARGET_DIR)/$$x > uninstaller; \
                        install $$x $(TARGET_DIR); \
                done
                install uninstaller $(TARGET_DIR)

Give "uninstaller" some sort of unique name to taste...

Uh, oh.  Sounds like you're talking about changing the underlying
mechanisms for define-key and global-set-key so that they pay
attention to key-themes.  When global-set-key is told to set (say)
"<ctrl>c" to something, it would first go (say) a key-themes-list to
lookup what key is acting as ^C at the moment and actually change the
setting for that key.

I know that, if I press C-u M-<Tab> in cc-mode, I can complete a symbol .. (the 
standards, like
gets, puts, printf , etc etc etc) ..
Is there an way to change this behavior... ?
How can I customize "where to search symbols" for this completion... ? 
I can't  use TAGS for completion Gtk code... 
I'm using c-include.el ... but this generate a Huge buffer with all Gtk symbols 
..
I want to add gtk symbols for this completion... 
is that possible.. 
If not, c-includes.el + dabbrev-completion is the only way to do this, or there 
are others ways ?

How do you do things like that... ? 

Thanks for help.. =-)
