Re: patch about moving file (or directory) to the Recycle Bin on Windows NT series

[Toru TSUNEYOSHI]

Now I made new patch for function move-file-to-trash (maybe as you
wrote).

step to enable move-file-to-trash:

    cd src
    patch -i patch__enable_delete_to_trash.diff
    make all install

    Run emacs
    (load-file "move-file-to-trash.el")
    (setq delete-by-moving-to-trash t)

I think it is useful. And I wish that someone else improve the code.
