I have made lots of changes, including transitioning most data
structures to use def-komtype, removing functions that weren't used
(there are several left), removing almost all the remaining who-buffer
remnants and generally messing with things.

Chances are I broke something. I haven't figured out what yet, but do
let me know if you spot anything.

in. This means that you can have different settings for different
sessions and servers. Your old settings should do nothing useful any
more. Everything will be customizable through kom-customize, but
that's not done yet.

You should restart Emacs to load these changes. Attempting to load
over a running elisp client will probably only lead to grief.

This commit has not been tested very much. You have been warned.
