Questions: classical X embedding, vc for Fossil

[René Kuligowski]

To whom it may concern & Dear people,

two questions mar my enjoyment of Emacs:

– is it possible to use the VC interface with the Fossil system 
(www.fossil-scm.org)?  Or, more specific, will support for Fossil be 
added?  (and *no*, I am not going to switch to git or mercurial or back 
to cvs for a *lot* of reasons…)

– asides from ImageMagick, FFMPEG ought to be a compilation option, 
adding full integral media support (eg. for the embedded GTK3-Webbrowser 
or emms).

– why is X embedding only implemented for GTK3 (and rudimentary at 
that), not even for GTK2 or Athena/Xtk-Widgets?  Embedding has been 
around for more than twenty years, as eg. FVWMButtons, XTerm, Tabbed, or 
many other applications have been showing for a looong time.  It is 
about darn time that Emacs gets *complete* X-embedding capability to 
both be embedded in other apps and to embed other apps (eg. XTerm or 
Ghostview) in itself.  To program that interface is not *that* hard, 
mind you…
