Kyle,
	if you're gonna be looking into extents.c can I somehow beg you
to also see if you can figure out the following bug(s):

1) why extents are not really atomic, even when you use atomic-extents
2) why highlight is broken in such a way that if you highlight a region
   of text and the last character highlighted has an end-glyph, the
   end-glyph doesn't get put in the highlighted face?

Don't take me too seriously if this is asking too much.  but at the very 
least, (1) would be a nice thing to have working in XEmacs.
