Oh, I'm chugging along, actually, albeit very slowly... I've been
working out bugs here and there, and now it's at a state where I think
it kinda works. Which means I can open a magit buffer and expand and
collapse diffs and so on and it looks mostly right.

I still have a few functions to implement, like concatenating overlay
strings and some other things. Right now I'm pondering if the which
overlays should be included when we run the overlay-modification
hooks...

Then there's a lot of cleanup of the code to be done, and changing stuff
to use SAFE_ALLOCA and things like that.

But I hope that in a few weeks or so I can publish it somewhere so you
can try it out :)
