ice-9/ChangeLog

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

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

 500
 501         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 502         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)

 507
 508         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 509         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 510         initialize %load-path.
 511
 512         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 513         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 514
 515 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 516
 517         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 518         Add the directory named after the version number.
 519         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 520         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 521         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 522         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 523         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

 529
 530         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 531         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 532         in the Makefile directly.
 533         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 534         for these.
 535         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 536         aux_files.
 537         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 538         here, where people expect to find them.

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

 578
 579         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
 580         now that they throw errors directly.
 581         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
 582         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
 583
