this changes the Guile GC to use cards (aka "chunklets").
(most of the ideas and some of the code are by Greg Harvey, though
the code is probably unrecognizable now. the original chunklet
proposal, way back, is by Dale Jordan).
Wow!
Now we have *both* a slightly more efficient collector (just
benchmarked it) and the basis for generational GC
(when, when, when? ... 8-)
Great work!
(and many thanks to Greg H as well)
