What do you mean by an xref script?

It seemed to me that the necessary next steps were to group everything
from your C/Scheme new/old lists into functional groups, and then for
each group try to explain the change/removal/addition.  I also think
that we should classify a lot of stuff as internal/experimental -
i.e. "use at your own risk", and not such a high priority for us to
document right now.  (For example, anything scm_gc_* would be
internal, and environments and anything in C to do with GOOPS would be
experimental.)
