Auto-generating the `defsubr' calls looks reasonably easy.  Well -- it
looks very easy given sed, I have no clue about the Windows build.  I
guess I could write a C program in lib-src.

I actually did the Q* vars once for another hare-brained hack of mine.
I could probably reproduce that.  What I did there is have a file that
was just a list of Lisp symbols.  Then, I generated all the declarations
and initialization of the Q* constants from that.

I could look into this again, but IIRC it was quite a bit of work.
But maybe it would be amenable to automated rewriting now.


Really we should just go the extra mile and write Emacs in Lisp ;-)
That would solve a lot of problems.
