Find cursor position on the screen

==================================

This package aimed to provide one or more functions to get

informations about the position on the screen of a visible point. With

this information someone can create a frame near the point and provide

a completion UI for example.

Why make a package for such a small thing ?

-------------------------------------------

Because I saw more than one Emacs package doing that thing and I

needed it too. 

I prefer to do that in a separate file because:

* it can be used by one or more package

* it can be enhanced to handle different window systems more

  accurately

Note

----

At the moment of this writing the code is shamelessly stolen from the

[esense](http://esense.sourceforge.net) package.

Here is a list of packages that implements similar routines inside

their code.

* [esense](http://esense.sourceforge.net)

* [Pos Tip](http://www.emacswiki.org/PosTip)

* [tooltip-help.el](http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/tooltip-help.el)

* [csense.el](http://code.google.com/p/csense/source/browse/trunk/csense.el)

* `dframe-reposition-frame-emacs` in dframe.el (shipped with Emacs)
