Chong,

The new version of the speedbar seems to be working for MH-E. I like
the output in tooltips better than in the minibuffer. Otherwise, it
seems similar.

Your instructions for "make bootstrap" are important. If you simply
follow the rebuild instructions in INSTALL.CVS, the speedbar blanks
after half a second and you get the following message in the
minibuffer every half a second or so:

  DFRAME TIMER ERROR: (void-variable speedbar-attached-frame)

Thanks for moving the sb-* image files to etc/images.
