;;;   Dired Buffer into a list of filenames `FILE-LIST'.
;;;
;; * Pass FILE-LIST to `dired-simultaneous-find-file' all with
;;;   `dired-do-find-marked-files''s prefix argument NOSELECT.
;;;
;; * `dired-simultaneous-find-file' runs through FILE-LIST decrementing the
;;;   list each time.
;;;
;; * If NOSELECT is non-nil then just run `find-file-noselect' on each
;;;   element of FILE-LIST.
;;;
;; * If NOSELECT is nil then calculate the `size' of the window for each file
;;;   by dividing the `window-height' by length of FILE-LIST.  Thus, `size' is
;;;   cognizant of the window-configuration.
;;;
;; * If `size' is too small abort, otherwise run `find-file' on each element
;;;   of FILE-LIST giving each a window of height `size'.
