(unofficial) Guile 1.4.1.101 available

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

release notes:

  starting to learn a little more about macros, an interesting topic.

  w/ `editing-buffer' incorporated, i threw in "guile-tools gxsed"
  snarfed from ttn-do as well, for stress testing.

  the #:prefix idea is from "official" trunk -- not so sure about
  #:hide, though.

  `add-to-load-path!' is from ttn-pers-scheme.  a "duh!" addition.

  probably the experimental proc `eval-in-current-module-proc' will wind
  up as a clause in `define-module', to make it more explicit and (thus)
  easier to reason about.  we will see...
  
  found a bug in "guile-tools lint" -- it mistakes references to
  internally `define'd procs as free variables.  patches welcome.
