There are all these entries in the term table

#ifdef USE_MOUSE
     int (*waitforinput) __PROTO((void));     /* used for mouse input */
     void (*put_tmptext) __PROTO((int, const char []));   /* draws temporary 
text; int determines where: 0=statusline, 1,2: at corners of zoom box, with \r 
separating text above and below the point */
     void (*set_ruler) __PROTO((int, int));    /* set ruler location; x<0 
switches ruler off */
     void (*set_cursor) __PROTO((int, int, int));   /* set cursor style and 
corner of rubber band */
     void (*set_clipboard) __PROTO((const char[]));  /* write text into 
cut&paste buffer (clipboard) */
#endif

why would adding something like (*reposition_window) not work?
