is a fixnum and added meta-asserts to verify that it is in a couple of
others, to facilitate future changes to vector typing. vectors are
now treated essentially like fxvectors, strings, and bytevectors.

allocating the thread context fails from Sactivate_thread. before
this change, the error was raised on the main thread, which resulted
in strange behavior at best. also added who argument to
S_create_thread_object to allow it to report either Sactivate_thread
or fork-thread led to the error.

original commit: 89691cee27ee7d5e9bffae530b6346e96f8cc7ad
sizes of pathnames produced by expansion of tilde (home-directory)
prefixes by replacing S_pathname, S_pathname_impl, and S_homedir
with S_malloc_pathname, which always mallocs space for the result.
one thread-safety issue involved the use of static strings for expanded
pathnames and affected various file-system operations. the other
affected the file open routines and involved use of the incoming
pathname while deactivated. the incoming pathname is sometimes if not
always a pointer into a Scheme bytevector, which can be overwritten if a
collection occurs while the thread is deactivated. the size limitation
corresponded to the use of the static strings, which were limited to
PATH_MAX bytes. (PATH_MAX typically isn't actually the maximum path
length in contemporary operating systems.) eliminated similar issues
for wide pathnames under Windows by adding S_malloc_wide_pathname.
consumers of the old routines have been modified to use the new
routines and to free the result strings. the various file operations
now consistently treat a pathname with an unresolvable home directory
as a pathname that happens to start with a tilde. eliminated unused
foreign-symbol binding of "(cs)pathname" to S_pathname.
io.c, externs.h, new_io.c, prim5.c, scheme.c, prim.c
- various places where a call to close or gzclose was retried when
the close operation was interrupted no longer do so, since this can
cause problems when another thread has reallocated the same file
descriptor.
new_io.c
- now using vcvarsall type x86_amd64 rather than amd64 when the
former appears to supported and the latter does not, as is the
case with VS Express 2015.
c/Mf-a6nt, c/Mf-ta6nt
- commented out one of the thread mats that consistently causes
indefinite delays under Windows and OpenBSD due to starvation.
thread.ms
- increased wait time for a couple of subprocess responses
6.ms
- added call to collector to close files opened during iconv mats
specifically for when mats are run under Windows with no iconv dll.
io.ms

and configure creates a config.h that sets the default scheme heap
path and scheme-script name based on the actual configuration.
configure, newrelease, workarea, checkin,
c/Mf-base, scheme.c, main.c,
Mf-install.in
- renamed the installed example directory from lib to examples.
Mf-install.in,
scheme.1.in
- added force option to gzip during man page install to prevent gzip from
asking for permission to overwrite existing man page files.
Mf-install.in
- removed ~/lib/csv%v/%m from the default scheme heap path on unix-like
systems. documented inclusion of %x\..\..\boot\%m in the Windows
default scheme heap path.
main.c,
use.stex
- added new configuration options: --installbin, --installlib,
--installschemename, --installpetitename, and --installscriptname.
configure
- updated the example library link to the nanopass framework.
CONTRIBUTING.md
- now cleaning up petite.1 and scheme.1 left behind by make install
Makefile-workarea.in, checkin
- now removing workarea after cleaning csug and release_notes so
Mf-stex (included from csug/Makefile and release_notes/Makefile)
doesn't complain trying to determine the machine type.
Makefile.in
- added installsh support for --ifdiff so the csug make file can use it
for the install target.
installsh,
csug/Makefile
- added instructions for building (cross-compiling) a boot file for
a supported machine type for which a boot file is not built by default.
