Guile-PG 0.24 available

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

release notes:

  finally getting around to async stuff.

  in the test proc `test:asynchronous-retrieval', the number of rows
  chosen to populate the table results in ~40s wall-time on a 300MHz
  openbrick.  ymmv; you can munge that number downward if feeling
  particularly impatient (or you can skip "make check" entirely).

README excerpt:

  Guile-PG is a collection of modules for Guile allowing access to
  the PostgreSQL RDBMS from Scheme programs.

  The low-level module `(database postgres)' provides an almost
  one-to-one correspondence with the PostgreSQL "libpq" C library
  interface.  Other higher-level modules, typically named
  `(database postgres-FOO)', provide abstractions and convenience
  procedures.

  This is alpha code (pre 1.0 release).  It has bugs, and the
  interfaces may change from version to version.

NEWS excerpt:

  - 0.24 | 2004-11-24
  
    - New (database postgres) proc: pg-set-nonblocking!
    - New (database postgres) proc: pg-is-nonblocking?
  
        These track recent(ish) appearance of similarly-named libpq
        functions.  Both do nothing and return #f if the underlying
        libpq function is not available.
  
    - Tested against PostgreSQL 7.3.8
