Updated so that it no longer deletes the window and re-creates it quite 
so many times - namely it no longer requires a pre-command-hook.

Good news, it doesn't flicker any more since I removed window deletion 
in the pre-command-hook.  In fact, there are no outstanding bugs as far 
as I know.

(The next step now is to make it more intelligent about what lines to 
show inside the minimap window.  Currently it does it purely based on 
indentation, which is not optimal in many cases.)

That's true -- don't tell anyone but I literally copied and pasted the 
code for creating and deleting the window from sublimity-mode, so I 
don't know if the code regarding margins and fringes is correct or not 
in my case.  I haven't had a problem with it, but I need to look into it.
