;SECTION: TODO
; gnuwin-32 needs an option to ignore case when matching filenames
;     (or at least optionally treat all-upper names as all-lower)
; wouldn't find-tag-in-order be more efficient if it saved its place
;     on the order list?
;     use modified mouse button as synonym for find-tag?
;     why is exact-match-filename first?  is that one of the MOST general?
; adapt ps-print.el to font-lock (default + 8 font lock fonts)
;     figger out how to make it do underlines
;     find some more monospace fonts on the net(?)
