Er, I can't.  But I've been looking at it, and I have a few comments.

1) If you're using gcc, I suggest turning on some extra warnings,

-Wall -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Winline -Wnested-externs

Your patch adds a few warnings.  Attached is a little patch relative to 
yours that fixes them.

2) Perhaps you could make search_history and replace_history be 
pointers, i.e.

historyheadtype *search_history;
historyheadtype *replace_history;

All the other linked list structures in Nano work this way.

3) The first 8 lines of search.c:history_init() are pretty ugly.  Is it
really necessary to assign a (historyheadtype **) value to a
(historyheadtype *) variable?

4) Take out the first hunk of the winio.c change.

5) Could you add a bit to global.c:thanks_for_all_the_fish() to deallocate 
the history lists?


In general it looks great.  I'll start using it as soon as it works in
Pico mode.  By the way, I think it's fine if you post the 6K gzipped
version on nano-devel.
