copying the whole stuff in an own `display-buffer-function' is not
the smartest approach - with XEmacs i have done exactly this because
XEmacs had an elisp display-buffer for a long time - but copying
these huge amount of code (in parts ugly code - at least the XEmacs-
version) into an own display-buffer-function and then finding(!!)
and then patching a very small portion for the ECB-needs is really
a pain - here IMHO is the choosen advice-approach of ECB much smarter
- but anyway: If you prefer a full functional copied and patched
display-buffer-function instead of a save and smart advice, it would
be fine for me... ;-)
