Herewith a patch adding a point slot to climacs-buffer (initialized from 
low-mark). When a pane is created, or gets a new buffer, the pane's 
point slot is cloned from the buffer's point. When a buffer is buried, 
the buffer's point is cloned from the pane's point. When a pane is 
split, the buffer's point is cloned from the existing pane's point so 
that the new pane is initialized with the existing point.

This has the effect that a buffer keeps its point when buried and 
unburied (ie. you can C-x b in peace), but different panes on the same 
buffer have their own independent point (ie. you can C-x [23] in peace).
