- the collector now releases bignum temporaries in the collector
rather than relocating them so we don't keep around huge bignum
temporaries forever.
gc.c
- removed the presumably useless vector-handling code from load()
which used to be required to handle fasl groups.
scheme.c
- object files are no longer compressed as a whole, and the parameter
compile-compressed is no longer defined. instead, the individual
fasl objects within an object file are compressed whenever the
new parameter fasl-compressed is set to its default value, #t.
this allows the fasl reader to seek past portions of an object
file that are not of interest, i.e., visit-only code and data
when "revisiting" an object file and revisit-only code and data
when "visiting" an object file. the compressed portions are
compressed using the format and level specified by the compress-format
and compress-level parameters. the C-coded fasl reader and
boot-file loader no longer handle compressed files; these are
handled, less efficiently, by the Scheme entry point (fasl-read).
a warning exception is raised the first time a program attempts
to create or read a compressed fasl file.

- added begin wrappers around many of the Scheme source files that
contained multiple expressions to cut down the number of top-level
fasl objects and increase compressibility. also removed the
string filenames for debugging at the start of each file that had
one---these are best inserted universally by a modified compile-file
during a debugging session when desired. also removed unnecessary
top-level placeholder definitions for the assignments that follow.
