* gh.texi (Executing Scheme code): gh_eval_file returns
SCM_UNSPECIFIED. Thanks to Dirk for the report!
* data-rep.texi (Non-immediate Datatypes, Immediates vs
Non-immediates): Emphasize current rather than pre-1.4 practice
when talking about not needing to call SCM_NIMP.
* recipe-guidelines.txt: New file: guidelines for contributions to
the Guile Recipes manual.
