   new TODO item: "write maintainer script dist-guile"

dist-guile now supports restarts:

# usage: dist-guile TAG [START]
#
# This must be run in a branched top-level guile-core dir (so
# that CVS/Tag looks something like: branch_release-X-Y).
#
# Description of each step:
#  0 - set vars and do other init
#  1 - check all files under cwd are unmodified (sync'ed w/ cvs repo)
#    - sh -x autogen.sh
#  2 - create distdir ../dist.$branch
#    - in $distdir do configure, make, make check
#  3 - in $distdir do make distcheck
#  4 - cvs tag TAG         (where TAG is $1)
#
# Optional arg START means start at that step (step 0 is always done).
# This is useful for avoiding long rebuilds after fixing minor mishaps.
