ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
   2
   3         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
   4
   5         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
   6         (add-hooks!): New macro.
   7         Change hooks to use these functions.
   8
   9 *       * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
  10         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
  11         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
  12         the source! :-)
  13         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
  14         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
  15         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
  16         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
  17         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
  18         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
  19         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
  20         traced.
  21
  22         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
  23         and exit-frame exceptions.
  24
  25 *       * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
  26         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
  27         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
  28         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
  29         result; otherwise display "> ".
  30         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
  31
  32         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
  33         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
  34         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
  35         repository version runnable.
  36
  37 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  38
  39         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
  40         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
  41         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
  42         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
  43         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
  44         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
  45
  46 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  47
  48         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
  49         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
  50         and eval.
  51         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
  52         "defined?".
  53         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
  54         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
  55
  56 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  57
  58         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
  59
  60 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  61
  62         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
  63         %read-sharp layer.
  64
  65 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  66
  67         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
  68         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
  69
  70 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  71
  72         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
  73         backtrace.c.)
  74
  75 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  76
  77         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
  78         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
  79
  80 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  81
  82         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
  83
  84         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
  85         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
  86         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
  87         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
  88         dynamic linking of modules.
  89         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
  90         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
  91
  92 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  93
  94         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
  95
  96 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  97
  98         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
  99         that's what it is.
 100
 101         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 102         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 103         was false.
 104
 105 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 106
 107 *       * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 108         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 109         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 110
 111 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 112
 113         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 114         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 115         yet.
 116
 117 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 118
 119         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 120         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 121         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 122
 123 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 124
 125         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 126         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 127         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 128         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 129
 130         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 131         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 132         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 133         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 134         (such as the-scm-module).
 135
 136 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 137
 138         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 139         %search-load-path.
 140
 141 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 142
 143         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 144         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 145         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 146
 147 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 150         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 151         function, use it accordingly.
 152
 153 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 154
 155         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 156         function of no arguments.
 157         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 158         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 159         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 160         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 161         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 162         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 163         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 164         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 165
 166 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 167
 168         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 169         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 170
 171 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 174         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 175         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 176         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 177         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 178
 179         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 180         `*features*'.
 181
 182         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 183         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 184         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 185         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 186
 187         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 188
 189         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 190
 191         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 192         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 193         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 194
 195         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 196         error.
 197
 198         Added `before-read-hook'.
 199
 200         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 201
 202         (provide): New function.
 203
 204         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 205         in backtraces.
 206
 207         (backtrace): New function.
 208
 209         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 210         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 211         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 212         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 213         is found in operator position in a frame.
 214
 215         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 216         by default.
 217
 218         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 219         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 220         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 221
 222         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 223
 224         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 225
 226         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 227
 228         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 229
 230 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 231
 232         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 233
 234         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 235         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 236
 237         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 238         so they'll get distributed.
 239
 240         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 241         should see as little clutter as possible.
 242         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 243         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 244         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 245
 246         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 247         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 248         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 249         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 250         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 251         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 252         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 253         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 254         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 255         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 256         that are not.
 257         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 258         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 259
 260         * test.scm: New file.
 261
 262         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 263         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 264         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 265
 266         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 267         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 268
 269         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 270         work now.
 271         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 272         call %load-announce.
 273
 274 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 275
 276         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 277         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 278         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 279         components.
 280         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 281
 282 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 283
 284         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 285         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 286         SCSH (which this isn't).
 287
 288 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 289
 290         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 291
 292 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 293
 294         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 295         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 296         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 297         these.
 298         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 299         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 300         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 301         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 302         save-stack.
 303
 304 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 305
 306         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 307
 308         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 309
 310         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 311         error-catching-loop.
 312         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 313         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 314         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
 315
 316         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 317         error-catching-loop.
 318
 319 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 320
 321         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 322         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 323         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 324         should be '(), not #f.
 325
 326         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 327         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 328
 329 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 330
 331         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 332         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 333         error-signal.
 334
 335 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 336
 337         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 338         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 339         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 340         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 341
 342 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 343
 344         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
 345
 346 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 347
 348         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
 349
 350         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
 351         throw-handler-default.
 352         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
 353         reported.
 354         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
 355         acro.
 356         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
 357         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.

 360
 361         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
 362         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
 363         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
 364         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
 365
 366 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 367
 368         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
 369         Append "." to the default %load-path.
 370         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
 371         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
 372         ...))
 373         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
 374         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
 375         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
 376         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
 377         file-is-directory?
 378
 379 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 380
 381         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
 382
 383         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
 384         distribution.
 385
 386         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
 387         `switch-repl'.
 388
 389         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
 390
 391 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 392
 393         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
 394         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
 395
 396 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 397
 398         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
 399
 400         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
 401
 402 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 403
 404         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 405         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 406         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 407         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 408         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 409
 410         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 411         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 412         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 413         they seem redundant.
 414         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 415         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 416         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 417         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 418         directly files starting with "/").
 419         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 420         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 421
 422         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 423
 424 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 425
 426         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 427         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 428         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 429         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 430         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 431         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 432         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 433         robust to just do it in the C code.
 434
 435 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 438         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 439         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 440         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 441         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 442
 443 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 444
 445         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 446         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 447         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 448
 449 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 450
 451         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 452         system-error, not every kind of error.
 453         (scm-error): new procedure.
 454
 455 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 456
 457         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 458
 459 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 460
 461         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 462         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 463         of args are supplied.
 464         (%%system-errors): removed.
 465         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 466         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 467         %%handle-system-error.
 468         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 469         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 470         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 471         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 472
 473 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 476         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 477         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 478         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 479
 480 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 481
 482         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 483         the empty list if they are #f.
 484         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 485
 486 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 487
 488         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 489
 490         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 491         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 492         aborting, just the key and subr.
 493         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 494         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 495         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 496
 497 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 498
 499         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 500         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 501         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 502         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 503         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

 513
 514         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 515         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 516         initialize %load-path.
 517
 518         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 519         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 520
 521 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 522
 523         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 524         Add the directory named after the version number.
 525         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 526         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 527         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 528         sitedatadir): New definitions.

 534 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 535
 536         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 537         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 538         in the Makefile directly.
 539         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 540         for these.
 541         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 542         aux_files.
 543         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 544         here, where people expect to find them.

 579         (manifest): Deleted.
 580         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

 584
 585         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,

 587         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
 588         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
