expect some instability in Kawa CVS tree


I've been working on a big re-write of the Kawa function calling API. This doesn't change the --no-full-tailcalls API much, but it changes the --full-tailcalls API much more. Short-term advantages include better support for generic methods (dynamic overloading) and error messages; longer-term potential includes full call/cc support and hopefully better performance (for the --full-tailcalls but not full call/cc case). There are also various simplifications here and there.

So the testsuite finally passes, so I'm ready to check it in. Until I've done that the code may be inconsistent. Even after it's all checked in some new failures in corner cases would not surprise me, but let me know and I'll try to fix them as soon as I can. I'll also update the internals manual to explain how it all works.

This work is partly funded by Merced Systems.
