Not all (yet).
o It is one programm with multiple frontends:
old,
text,
ncurses,
random,
maximum,
minimum,
syntax checking
(X is still missing as my brain is not made for GUI programming)
o An 'show me all options and handle the rest' mode is still missing -
my devel tree has something like that in the works, but I'll probably
never finish it now that CML2 is official.
o it still has multiple top-level config.in. Again that is easily fixable
and in fact I did a patch for it (including {old,menu,x}config support
in 2.3 times but never submitted it.
Something missing?
