Search for versions within a library directory, instead of searching
across library directories for a version. That way, user-specific libraries
can take precedence generally.
Fix the construction of library names with versions to match `ffi-lib`.
Specifically, put the version after the suffix on platforms other than
Mac OS X.
Put the code to resolve 'so specs in one place.
Make executables created by `raco exe` not refer to the original
configuration directory by default, but add an option for setting
the directory.
For Unix ELF executables, fix `raco exe` to set/preserve the
configuration directory.
Merge to v6.0
The package split exposed another place where searching
is needed, because the fallback in `collection-file-path`
to `collection-path` didn't work after the split.
`cext-lib` contains much of the contents of `dynext`, which
is no longer very widely used.
Also moved the implementation of the `mzc` executable
to a more appropriate package.
Also, used `lazy-require` consistently for dynamically
loading implementations.
Also, move remaining "srfi" libraries to "srfi-lite-lib".
In principle, "base" should depend on "scheme-lib" and
"srfi-lite-lib", and a new "base2" package would represent the new,
smaller base. But I don't think the window has yet closed on
determining the initial "base" package.
The "srfi" libraries moved to "srfi-lite-lib", instead of "srfi-lib",
to avoid creating many extra dependencies on "srfi-lib" and all of its
dependencies. The SRFIs in "srfi-lite-lib" depend only on "base",
and they are used relatively widely.
The "share" directory holds platform-independent files, while
"lib" holds platform-specific files.
In principle, the "collects" directory belongs in "share",
as does "doc". Those directories are put into "share"
by a Unix-style install, but left at top level for an
in-place install.
Packages in installation scope are put in "share" instead
of "lib", and the top-level Makefile puts development links
in "share/devel-pkgs".
The `configure' script now supports `--docdir' and `--collectsdir'.
Changed the version to 5.90.0.1.
