bug#3320: 23.0.93; Rename `mini-' options


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#3320: 23.0.93; Rename `mini-' options
Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 15:44:58 -0700

See the discussion at emacs-devel@gnu.org with the same Subject line.
 
It was suggested that I also file a bug for this:
 
> Drew, could you report this as a bug to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org?

So this is that bug report.
 
Please rename these options from using `mini-' to something that
indicates what they act on. Suggestions:
 
* Rename `resize-mini-windows' to `minibuffer-echo-area-resize'.
 
* Rename `max-mini-window-height' to
  `minibuffer-echo-area-max-height'.
 
Please also change the doc strings to not mention `mini-windows',
which are not defined, in any case. Make it clear that these act on
the minibuffer and echo area.
