186 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added

188 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

465 * Makefile.am: attempt to use guile from $(top_builddir)/libguile
466 when building autoconf-macros.texi. There are still problems with
467 modules and running makeinfo when builddir != srcdir.

660 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
661 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
662 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
663 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
664 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
665 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
666 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
667 appear together in the printed manual.
