1) moving guile-modules's directories into the guile-core CVS module to
be distributed as part of guile proper. (Done inside the repo, as we
discussed a while back).

2) Rename of ChangeLog to ChangeLog-1995-1999 and create a new ChangeLog.
I'll do this if you like, but feel it's your call and didn't want to
make the change w/o your explicit feedback.

I'd say that keeping up to date on the patches is a much higher priority 
than a web interface for giving feedback... ideally when things are
running smoothly a patch won't sit around for as long as they have
during this transition period.  Just keeping your working plain-text
file regarding pending patches available on the guile web page is
probably sufficient, in any case.

Thanks!
