Attached is the third draft, multiple_cursors_003.diff, which applies to the
master branch as of commit "ea626c72e590aa7a45fd26df42240854e4225cef" on March
10, 2015.
Different colors for each fake cursor are now supported on Emacs for Windows
(XP SP-3) and OSX (10.6.8).
The next phase will be to separate the custom feature called
`window-start-end-hook` from this new fake cursor feature 22873. Currently, I
am using the existence of a definitive window-start and window-end derived from
the `window-start-end-hook` as a guide and condition precedent to placing the
fake cursors. Given that fake cursors are placed late in the stage of the
redisplay process, I suspect that I can rely on other methods to extract the
correct window-start and window-end.
The other unrelated features that were present in my first couple of drafts
have been removed from this third draft. The fake cursors feature works as
follows -- to erase everything or change anything, just modify the `mc-list':
(defun mc-test (&optional list)
"Draw fake cursors at all POS defined in the `mc-list'.
Color vector is LSL (The Linden Scripting Language), rather than standard RGB.
`nsterm.m' uses `NSColor', which works well with LSL. `w32term.c' uses
`PALETTERGB' or `RGB', and the conversion from LSL is done internally by
multiplying each element of the LSL color vector by 255."

(3 "hbar" [1.0 0.0 0.0])
(4 "bar" [0.0 1.0 0.0])

(6 "hollow" [0.8 0.4 0.2])
(7 ("hbar" 3) [1.0 0.0 1.0])
(8 ("bar" 3) [0.0 1.0 1.0]))))
