fso-el: Emacs interface to the freesmartphone API

This is an Emacs client to be used on phones like the OpenMoko FreeRunner. It relies on the freesmartphone API. Because it requires the new Emacs dbus support, you need to be using a recent version of Emacs.

Bugs

http://www.ozekisms.com/index.php?owpn=380 CMS error codes

• d-bus signals seem to take a long time to arrive sometimes. After ending a call, it can take a full minute before the call status changes in Emacs, even though the call is released immediately. If a key is pressed while waiting, then the signal seems to arrive right then.
• What happens when an SMS comes in while on a call?

• Why is there an error about <pause> that happens when a call is dialed?

Fixed

• /Bugs/RetrieveMessageChannelMediatorError was fixed by fso framework commit d7dca1626ae625c836e6819f774a70446e2954d2.
