Man page for guile.

[Rob Browning <rlb at cs dot utexas dot edu>]

I figured having a man page (even a simple one) for guile might be
helpful to a lot of people, so I wrote one.  If this text is long
enough that I need to go through the copyright mess now, then I'll do
it, but below I just listed the copyright as belonging to the FSF (I
suspect that may not be kosher).

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Guile
is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language, nicely packaged
as a library you can link into your programs. Your program has full
access to the interpreter's data structures, so you can extend Guile
with your own primitives, datatypes and syntax. The result is a
scripting language tailored to your application.

The primary documentation for Guile is provided in the form of info
pages which you can read from the command line via "info guile" or
"info guile-ref", or through Emacs' built in info system (type C-h i)
from within Emacs.  This man page is updated only when someone
volunteers to do so; the Emacs maintainers' priority goal is to
minimize the amount of time this man page takes away from other more
useful projects.
