Headed towards a 4.0. The binary format will change slightly but
incompatibly (e.g. renumbering of intrinsics). Having a new GC is
enough of a change to warrant a minor version bump, and it's been 5
years so why not go major.
* GUILE-VERSION (GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION): Bump to 4.0.

* libguile/dynl.c: Rewrite to just expose core dlopen / dlsym / etc to a
helper Scheme module.

foreign-library).

document the new interfaces. Eventually we will deprecate
dynamic-link and friends.
* doc/ref/guile.texi (API Reference): Move Foreign Objects after Foreign
Function Interface. Seems there should be some closer relationship
but this will do for now.
