I needed to debug a gsc-compiled file with gdb today, and it was fairly inconvenient that the .c file wasn't left around by compile- file in beta 21. I suggest that the .c file be left around for the various source tools that need it.

I have added a -keep-c option to gsc. I.e. you'll have to do:

gsc -keep-c foo

to compile foo.scm to foo.o1 and foo.c

How do I tell the |compile-file| procedure to keep the C file? I realize that there's the |compile-file-to-c| procedure, but usually I just want to compile-file and if that fails I want to investigate the c file. Well actually it might also be a good idea to not remove the .c file if the C compiler fails.
