Thanks.  I meant to install it, but building Emacs after applying the
changes yields warnings:

  In speedbar-frame-or-window:
  speedbar.el:1009:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \=' or different quoting such as `...')

  In speedbar-window-mode:
  speedbar.el:1045:13: Warning: assignment to free variable `speedbar-select-frame-method'

  In speedbar-window--buffer-live-p:
  speedbar.el:1079:11: Warning: defsubst `speedbar-window--buffer-live-p' was used before it was defined

  In speedbar-window--width:
  speedbar.el:1113:11: Warning: defsubst `speedbar-window--width' was used before it was defined

  In speedbar-current-frame:
  speedbar.el:1135:11: Warning: defsubst `speedbar-current-frame' was used before it was defined

Please fix those.

Also, here:

> +@cindex @code{speedbar-window}
> +Optionally, the speedbar can be displayed as a window, splitting the
> +windows of the selected frame, in both terminal and graphics modes.
> +Only one speedbar window can be open at a time.
> +
> +It is possible to switch from displaying the speedbar in a separate
> +frame to displaying it in a window and vice versa simply by using the
> +@kbd{M-x speedbar-window @key{RET}} or
> +@kbd{M-x speedbar-frame <at> key{RET}} command.

please mention and index the user option you added.

These NEWS entries should be marked with "+++", since this is now
documented in the relevant manuals.
