First thanks for all of your contributions to emacs/emacsw32. Packaging overall 
and co-existence with the reality of window's market position is lacking and 
sorely needed.

I have had a high regard for your work since discovering, I think it was 
called, W32 installation utilities. nXhtml is even more impressive.

So what's my question, er suggestion? The large collection components you have 
integrated and created have a lot of value on their own. (but you knew that :-) 
) IMO you (and Drew Adams) are setting a standard for completeness, attention 
to detail, simply fit and finish while demonstrating underexploited and 
unexploited potential of Emacs as a platform.

Adding granularity to the current auto-load/setup implementation would not only 
avoid the startup logjam, it would make all the tools available to a wider 
audience. I was impressed with the customization tools when I first saw them. 
It must be more then 10 years ago. Probably 15.

They are an impressive piece of work. I knew there was A LOT more that could be 
done with them then in the base libraries. Lisp is not my native tongue. The 
learning curve was too steep to experiment. It was exciting to see your usage 
of custom-load.

If this makes sense to you I would like to help. I know elisp syntax and 
semantics fairly well and have some knowledge of common lisp. I done a limited 
amount of lisp hacking and debugging.

I'm a software/systems architect/developer with broad and deep skill sets.

If I don't hear from you in a few days I'll hack my way through the changes 
trying not to soil your code too much.
