1342 scheme-data.texi, scheme-binding.texi, posix.texi,

1347
1348 * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.

1351 * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value
1352 incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.
1353 (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
1354
1355 * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
1356 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
1357
1358 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1359 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1360 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1361 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1362 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1363 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1364 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1365 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1366 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1367 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1368 appear together in the printed manual.
1369
1370 * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
1371 debugging.texi.

1380 become a chapter in ...

1405 * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
1406 and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
