Consistent vanilla Emacs

[Nicolas P. Rougier]

Dear all,

I've been working on making vanilla Emacs (i.e. no packages installed) more
consistent and elegant in terms of faces/colors/fonts/size. You can see some
screenshots at https://github.com/rougier/elegant-emacs.

Among the screenshots, there's a proposal for a revamped splash screen. I'm not
subscribed to this mailing list (please cc me) but I've tried to follow the
long discussion on the archived mailing list, trying to take various comments
into account (I probably have missed some). The result [1] is kind of minimal
with only essential information (for a new user) and can be easily adapted for
terminal or GUI version. The most important information is the key to type
(ctrl-h) to go to a welcome screen [2] with essential information.

These mockups have been made using org-mode. Probably this can be made
differently and more efficiently but I'm not too familiar with Emacs internal.
