        Eval and compile all of eieio (bootstrap itself w/ the byte compiler.)

        * eieio-comp.el:
        Use byte-compile-function-environment to quiet the byte compiler for methods.

        * eieio.el: Updated version number.

        * eieio-speedbar.el:

        Fixed comments at beginning.

        * eieio.texi: Spell checked.

        * eieio.el:

        * eieio-speedbar.el:
        Tweeked the default keymap and menu.

        * eieio.el:
        When building the test function for new classes, make sure it is an
        object before calling the `same-class-p' primitive.  Also add new
        primitive `-child-p' to test of an object inherits anything from a
        class

        Added tests for auto-generated predicates for class objects.

        * eieio.el:
        If a method is not available for a given object, call the method
        `no-method-definition' instead of signaling it.  This method calls the
        signal.  Call signal directly iff there is no object to call on.

        New function next-method-p If there is no next method, call the method
        `no-next-method' which is a new primitive method which signals that
        there is no next method.

        Make  sure `call-next-method' returns the value of the last lambda
        called.

        strings.)  toplevel shell now creates a navigation list so TAB and
        M-TAB now navigate widgets forwards and backwards quickly, without
        complex tree searches.  This also speeds up general group input
        distribution.

        Dialog can now load if the current font does not support bold or
        italic.  Added smarter keymap handlers for symbols as well as

        in text fields.  Fixed dialog-test to not quit whenever alternate
        buffer is shown, and to use positioning deltas

        * dlg-config.el:
        Added many new data objects which know how to save themselves as
        symbols, hooks, disabled-commands, string-numbers, packages etc.  Also
        added the ability to save themselves into a file, either the
        .Xdefaults, or .emacs file.

        Udated for newer version of eieio

        * widget-d.el:
        Moved some items out of private hands so that they can be worked with
