Require of - 	strings removed.  Tested with Hobbit 5x. -	(scm:object-suffix): changed to ".o"; only used by link-named-scm. -	* patchlvl.h (SCMVERSION): Bumped from 5b2 to 5b3. -	* mkimpcat.scm: modified for new SLIB catalog arrangement. -	* sys.c (gc_sweep): added `contin_bad' argument.  When set, -	gc_sweep will warn of any uncollected continuations of non-zero -	length.  This should make unexec problems less mysterious. -	* Init.scm (home-vicinity): added.  Used to find "ScmInit.scm". -	* unexsunos4.c: added from emacs. -	* unexhp9k800.c: added from emacs.

Called by dll and dlls methods. -	* scm.texi (Compiling and Linking Custom Files): Added to describe -	how to use "build.scm" with custom files. -	* Makefile (myscm4 myscm5): now delete slibcat and implcat to keep -	them from getting stale. -	* gmalloc.c: HP-UX B.10.10 A doesn't have getpagesize.h. -	* sys.c (mark_syms): No longer mark the value cell because value -	 cells get returned by calls to intern().  This caused a rare GC -	 leak which showed up in large programs. -	* scm.h (const): defined to comment for hpux native cc. - -Fri Oct 10 00:18:40 1997  Peter E.
