[gambit-list] Making UTF-8 the default for Gambit

I’ve just pushed a patch to allow specifying at configure-time the default runtime options.  For example

  ./configure --enable-default-runtime-options="f8,-8,t8"

Then running

   gsi

will give the same result as

   gsi -:f8,-8,t8

This approach has the advantage that other runtime option defaults can be set, for example

  ./configure --enable-default-runtime-options="m10000"

will set the minimum heap size to 10MB by default.  Note that it is possible to override these defaults by giving explicit command line runtime options or using the GAMBOPT environment variable:

  gsi -:m5000
