? The following changes to startup.el allow hooks to define new command line
? arguments without rebuilding emacs.  Example:

Very clever! However, I just saw a neat idiom in basic-save-buffer:

? 	   (while (and hooks (not (and (funcall (car hooks))
? 				       (setq did-hook t))))
		     (setq hooks (cdr hooks)))
use this instead:

	   (while (and hooks (not (setq did-hook (funcall (car hooks)))))
		     (setq hooks (cdr hooks)))

Actually, you could even merge the setq's and have a null while body!
