79bd99b3e4 Move description of manual organisation from Preface to Introduction
This material isn't "meta-" enough to be in the Preface, and it
supports (by its structure) some of the points that the Introduction
makes about Guile, so I think it belongs here.

* doc/ref/intro.texi (Introduction): Add `Organisation of this Manual'
  menu item and material to here...

* doc/ref/preface.texi (Preface): ...from here.

064f84ae56 Streamline the manual's Preface material
(The principle here is that Preface should only contain
meta-information about the manual, such as how to use it and who wrote
it; plus any political points that we want to draw attention to.)

* doc/ref/preface.texi (Preface): Make unnumbered, for consistency
  with other GNU manuals (e.g. Emacs, GSL).  Merge layout text into
  top level.  Simplify first sentence.  Move section on conventions
  away...

* doc/ref/intro.texi (Introduction to Guile): ...to here.

eb12b40182 Move GOOPS documentation into the main manual
Nothing editorial here, just the minimum to move the GOOPS documentation
into the main manual, and then still have everything build properly.

a7c5a2e5fd Remove the idea of a separate manual edition number
I don't believe this has ever been useful, and I doubt that we've
consistently incremented it in the past.  The reality is that the
manual evolves with the rest of Guile, so Guile's version number
should apply to the manual too.  It is conceivable that we might
one day revise the manual for an existing Guile release, so we keep
a REVISION number to cover that.

e9b91f8e73 (Guile License): Note readline is GPL and manual has
its own copying terms.  Describe briefly what the licenses mean in
practice.

cef6deaff1 (Manual Conventions): Double-quote some statements formerly
single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.  Clarify
meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the first time
'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples, not code.  Put
results of evaluation on the same line as @result symbols.  Use @print
example as example of total usage, and remind readers not to forget
the difference.

96e0538252 (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in @acronym. Change from
paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking on paper, at least) to
@table format, with headers @strong.  Made example modules complete
sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!

0d044fd484 Minor punctuation mistakes. Hyphens should link compound adjectives.
Commas should be placed after a "therefore" that begins a sentence.
Commas should not be used to separate a list of only 2 dependent
clauses.
