  32 ;;; Quick hack to use emacs as mail editor.  There are a *bunch* of
  33 ;;; changes scattered throughout emacs to make this work, namely:
  34 ;;; (1) mod to sysdep.c to allow emacs to attach to a process other
  35 ;;;     than the one that originally spawned it.
  36 ;;; (2) mod to kepteditor.com to define the logical emacs_parent_pid
  37 ;;;     which is what sysdep.c looks for, and define the logical
  38 ;;;     emacs_command_args which contains the command line
  39 ;;; (3) mod to re-parse command line arguments from emacs_command_args
  40 ;;;     then execute them as though emacs were just starting up.
