* * gc.c (scm_protect_object, scm_unprotect_object): New functions.

Their prototypes were already present in gc.h, but they weren't
	implemented.
	(scm_init_storage): Initialize scm_protects.
	* root.c (scm_protects): New element of scm_sys_protects.

/* Protect OBJ from the garbage collector. OBJ will not be freed,
even if all other references are dropped, until someone applies
scm_unprotect_object to it. This function returns OBJ.
Note that calls to scm_protect_object do not nest. You can call
scm_protect_object any number of times on a given object, and the
next call to scm_unprotect_object will unprotect it completely.
Basically, scm_protect_object and scm_unprotect_object just
maintain a list of references to things. Since the GC knows about
this list, all objects it mentions stay alive. scm_protect_object
adds its argument to the list; scm_unprotect_object remove its
argument from the list. */
