... a talented, young programmer.  Where do you find them these days?

`fit-window-to-buffer' uses `pos-visible-in-window-p' already, with poor
results here (in particular when drawing boxes around text).  And
`vertical-motion' doesn't pay attention to the height of text.  At least
that was my experience when I tried to rewrite `fit-window-to-buffer'
using `count-screen-lines'.
