I would really love it if the size of a displayed tab was an adjustable thing
and also if the tab implementation (spaces or tab) was selectable.

Yes, I too would like to make this change and one other.  Have you ever noticed
that splitting the screen slows you down massively when you start editing.  I
think this is because uEmacs wants to keep the upper screen display coordinated
with the lower if they both contain the same file.  This isn't strictly
necessary though unless the line you are editing also appears in the other
window.  That is one fix I would love to make.

While I'm on a wish list kick, how about:
	a) a tags function (NOT a convoluted macro)
	b) mouse support like freemacs has
	c) temporary windows that go away once you press a key (excellent for
	functions like apropos)
	d) a function that creates a file with a unique name
	e) functions to return the size of files and delete files
	f) file name completion

Which brings me to my final point.  I could probably do a couple of these myself
if I had the latest uEmacs source or knew where to get it (or even what version
it is).  Can anybody tell me where to get it?
