They differs in GUI implementations. The former uses mactoolbox.c for
that. As this file is already in the EMACS_22_BASE branch, you can
guess the functionalities the AppKit counterpart provides by browsing
the title of each page in that file.

Of course I can give concrete examples, which are Mac-specific. But
the point is: I found some, then how can I assure there's no other?
Rather, I would doubt the quality and reliability of the whole code
from such kinds of changes.

To the list? Then I missed the one. I'm sorry about that.

Thanks for the explanation. So, they are not necessary to be
preloaded at the bootstrap stage?
