The first patch needs something like the attached patch to rebind the functions.

The "do_" prefix is being removed from all functions.

The bookmark_x field in filestruct, make_new_node() and copy_node() isn't 
excluded from NANO_TINY.

Next and previous ignore (skip over) the bookmark on current line. An entire 
paragraph could be a single line when softwrap is enabled. If cursor is on 
first virtual line and the only bookmark is on last virtual line, jumping to 
the bookmark will fail.

And what are your thoughts on only removing the bookmark if cursor is sitting 
on it, instead of from anywhere on the same line? When not on bookmark it could 
move it elsewhere on the line, and show a "Bookmark moved." message. In the 
previous example, setting a bookmark on first virtual line will remove the 
bookmark from the last virtual line and not set a new one. It will still be 
confusing as to why the bookmark on last virtual line no longer exists but at 
least if you jump to a bookmark elsewhere in file, you will be able to jump 
back to the first virtual line of that paragraph.
