* Changes to the scm_ interface
** New global variable scm_gc_running_p introduced.
Use this variable to find out if garbage collection is being executed. Up to
now applications have used scm_gc_heap_lock to test if garbage collection was
running, which also works because of the fact that up to know only the garbage
collector has set this variable. But, this is an implementation detail that
may change. Further, scm_gc_heap_lock is not set throughout gc, thus the use
of this variable is (and has been) not fully safe anyway.
** Deprecated macros: SCM_OUTOFRANGE, SCM_NALLOC, SCM_HUP_SIGNAL,
SCM_INT_SIGNAL, SCM_FPE_SIGNAL, SCM_BUS_SIGNAL, SCM_SEGV_SIGNAL,
SCM_ALRM_SIGNAL, SCM_GC_SIGNAL, SCM_TICK_SIGNAL, SCM_SIG_ORD,
