Andy Wingo aa5455ea98 Bignums avoid both custom GMP allocator and finalizers
* libguile/deprecated.c (make_bignum): Move here from numbers.c, to
support scm_i_long2big etc.
(scm_i_big2dbl):
(scm_i_long2big):
(scm_i_ulong2big):
(scm_i_clonebig):
(scm_i_normbig): Deprecate.
(scm_install_gmp_memory_functions): Deprecate, happily!  SCM bignums now
have digits allocated inline with the bignum itself, so they are
completely transparent to the GC already.  The price is that if GMP ever
allocates digits via the MPZ API, those digits then have to be copied
back into managed memory.  But we avoid having to install finalizers and
we avoid having to muck with GMP's allocator.
* libguile/numbers.c (scm_from_mpz): Use scm_integer_from_mpz.
(scm_init_numbers): Never muck with GMP's allocators.
* doc/ref/guile-invoke.texi (Environment Variables): Remove note about
GUILE_INSTALL_GMP_MEMORY_FUNCTIONS.
* meta/build-env.in: No need to set GUILE_INSTALL_GMP_MEMORY_FUNCTIONS.

This directory contains documentation on the Guile core.         -*-text-*-

The documentation consists of the following manuals.

- The Guile Tutorial (guile-tut.texi) contains a tutorial introduction
  to using Guile.

- The Guile Reference Manual (guile.texi) contains (or is intended to
  contain) reference documentation on all aspects of Guile.

- The Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (r5rs.texi).

Please be aware that this is all very much work in progress (apart
from the Revised^5 Report).  Bug reports and contributions are
welcome!

The `sources' directory includes some stuff relevant to the Guile
reference manual, and which may eventually be folded in to it.  It's
not immediately relevant, however, which is why it's not in this
directory.

The Revised^4 Report (r4rs.texi) is no longer in this distribution, as
it is completely superseded by the Revised^5 Report.  If you need to
consult R4RS, it is still widely available, for example at
http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/projects/info/SchemeDocs/r4rs/.
