2007-10-02 Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
* slib.texi (SLIB installation): Don't recommend using the site
directory for the symlink; instead, suggest either adding a
symlink in `/.../share/guile/1.8' (because slib will look for
its files in the implementation vicinity by default) or defining
`SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH'. Mention `new-catalog'.

make-vtable.
* api-io.texi: Add various @cindex entries.
* slib.texi (SLIB): Shorten the bit about core funcs overridden.
Don't want to duplicate the SLIB specs, and the set of modified bits
is likely to change over time and don't want to have to keep up with
that.
2007-02-22 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
* posix.texi (Signals): Merge sleep and usleep, note usleep not
actually microsecond accurate, remove warning usleep not always
available (guile has own code for it now, it's not the system call).
Cross reference scm_std_sleep / scm_std_usleep.

ssay make_final default is nothing extra. The `(lambda (x) )' shown

* api-init.texi (Initialization): Cross reference Runtime Environment
for scm_set_program_arguments.
* posix.texi (Runtime Environment): Expand program-arguments
description, add set-program-arguments, add scm_set_program_arguments,
note args are per-thread.
2006-12-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

charset recomputation upon successful `setlocale'.
2006-09-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

because ":@" is traditional common lisp, though either way works.

* gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
`@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
* data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to
scm_c_define_gsubr. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
`Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
