+ * configure.in: big overhaul to shift us to have separate private,
+ config.h, and public, scmconfig.h, configuration headers. Added a
+ fair amount of code to track down new required types: scm_t_uint8,
+ scm_t_uint16, scm_t_uint32, scm_t_int8, scm_t_int16, scm_t_int32,
+ and to detect optional types scm_t_uint64, scm_t_in64, long long,
+ unsigned long long, scm_t_ptrdiff, intptr_t, and uintptr_t.

+ * README: merge information from INSTALL and remove at least some
+ of the stale bits.
+
+ * LICENSE: new file -- we should change this to the LGPL soon and
+ add COPYING.LIB to the distribution.
+
+ * autogen.sh: call autoreconf with --force. This may fix the
+ "order" problem below without having to have two calls.
+
+ * INSTALL: use the automake installed INSTALL file. The Guile
+ specific instructions are now in README.

Changes since the stable branch:
* Changes to the distribution
-** Guile now provide and uses an "effective" version number.
+** Guile now has separate private and public configuration headers.
+
+Guile now has config.h and libguile/scmconfig.h. The former is not
+installed and is private. The latter is installed and used by Guile's
+public headers. config.h is generated by configure and autoheader,
+and scmconfig.h is generated by a small C program, gen-scmconfig at
+build time based in part on the contents of config.h.
+
+Seen libguile/__scm.h and gen-scmconfig.c for more information.
+
+** The INSTALL file is now the generic automake installed one.
+
+Guile specific instructions can be found in the README.
+
+** Guile now provides and uses an "effective" version number.
Guile now provides scm_effective_version and effective-version
functions which return the "effective" version number. This is just
* Changes to the C interface
+** Many public #defines with generic names have been made private.
+
+#defines with generic names like HAVE_FOO or SIZEOF_FOO have been made
+private or renamed with a more suitable public name. See below for
+the ones which have been renamed.
+
+** HAVE_STDINT_H and HAVE_INTTYPES_H have removed from public use.
+
+HAVE_STDINT_H and HAVE_INTTYPES_H removed from public use. These are
+no longer needed since the older uses of stdint.h and inttypes.h are
+now handled by configure.in and gen-scmconfig.c.
+
+** USE_DLL_IMPORT is no longer defined publically.
+
+gen-scmconfig now uses it to decide what contents to place in the
+public scmconfig.h header without adding the USE_DLL_IMPORT itself.
+
+** HAVE_LIMITS_H has been removed from public use.
+
+gen-scmconfig now just uses HAVE_LIMITS_H to decide whether or not to
+add a limits.h include in scmconfig.h.
+
+** time.h, sys/time.h, etc. #ifdefery has been removed from public headers.
+
+gen-scmconfig now just uses the same logic to decide what time related
+#includes to add to scmconfig.h.
+
+** HAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC has been removed from public use.
+
+scmconfig.h now just defines scm_t_timespec.
+
+** HAVE_PTRDIFF has been removed from public use and Guile doesn't
+ define ptrdiff_t.
+
+Guile now publically defines scm_t_ptrdiff and
+SCM_SIZEOF_SCM_T_PTRDIFF in scmconfig.h, and all occurrences of
+ptrdiff_t have been replaced with scm_t_ptrdiff.
+
+Guile defines its own type this rather than just relying on ptrdiff_t
+and SCM_SIZEOF_PTRDIFF_T because Guile actually typedefs long to
+scm_t_ptrdiff when ptrdiff_t isn't available. A public "typedef long
+ptrdiff_t" could conflict with other headers.
+
+** HAVE_UINTPTR_T and HAVE_UINTPTR_T have been removed from public use.
+
+They are replaced by public definitions of SCM_SIZEOF_UINTPTR_T and
+SCM_SIZEOF_INTPTR_T. These are defined to 0 if the corresponding type
+is not available.
+
+** The public #define STDC_HEADERS has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_STDC_HEADERS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_SYS_SELECT has been renamed to
+ SCM_HAVE_SYS_SELECT_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_FLOATINGPOINT_H has been renamed to
+ SCM_HAVE_FLOATINGPOINT_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_IEEEFP_H has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_IEEEFP_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_NAN_H has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_NAN_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_WINSOCK2_H has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_WINSOCK2_H.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define HAVE_ARRAYS has been renamed to SCM_HAVE_ARRAYS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define STACK_GROWS_UP has been renamed to SCM_STACK_GROWS_UP.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define USE_PTHREAD_THREADS has been renamed to
+ SCM_USE_PTHREAD_THREADS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define USE_NULL_THREADS has been renamed to
+ SCM_USE_NULL_THREADS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** The public #define USE_COOP_THREADS has been renamed to
+ SCM_USE_COOP_THREADS.
+
+The previous name was too generic for the global public namespace.
+
+** SCM_C_INLINE is publically defined if possible.
+
+If the platform has a way to define inline functions, SCM_C_INLINE
+will be defined to that text. Otherwise it will be undefined. This
+is a little bit different than autoconf's normal handling of the
+inline define via AC_C_INLINE.
+
+** Guile now publically defines some basic type infrastructure.
+
+Guile always defines
+
+ SCM_SIZEOF_CHAR
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_CHAR
+ SCM_SIZEOF_SHORT
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_SHORT
+ SCM_SIZEOF_LONG
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG
+ SCM_SIZEOF_INT
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_INT
+ SCM_SIZEOF_LONG_LONG /* defined to 0 if type not available */
+ SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG /* defined to 0 if type not available */
+
+ scm_t_int8
+ scm_t_uint8
+ scm_t_int16
+ scm_t_uint16
+ scm_t_int32
+ scm_t_uint32
+
+Guile always defines
+
+ SCM_HAVE_T_INT64
+ SCM_HAVE_T_UINT64
+
+and when either of these are defined to 1, optionally defines
+
+ scm_t_int64
+ scm_t_uint64
+
+respectively.
+
+Guile always defines
+
+ scm_t_timespec
+
+** The preprocessor define USE_THREADS has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that the thread API is always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define GUILE_ISELECT has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that scm_internal_select is always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define READER_EXTENSIONS has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that the features represented by
+READER_EXTENSIONS are always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define DEBUG_EXTENSIONS has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that the features represented by
+DEBUG_EXTENSIONS are always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define DYNAMIC_LINKING has been deprecated.
+
+Going forward, assume that the features represented by
+DYNAMIC_LINKING are always present.
+
+** The preprocessor define STACK_DIRECTION has been deprecated.
+
+There should be no need to know about the stack direction for ordinary
+programs. (Do not use.)
+
** New function: scm_effective_version
Returns the "effective" version number. This is just the normal full
