extern-inline: new module * modules/extern-inline, m4/extern-inline.m4: New files. This is for better support of 'extern inline' a la ISO C99, with a portable alternative on compilers that do not support C99-style 'extern inline'. Using 'extern inline' shrinks the size of the Emacs executable, when compiled with debugging disabled, which is a typical way that Emacs is built while developing.
