The .c bloat in the repository would be greatly reduced if gambit's
output were to be a continuous function of the input -- that small
changes in the gambit source code would usually produce small changes in
the .c files. I'm already assuming, of course, that only the part of
Gambit that's absolutely necessary for the bootstrap is to be committed
as .c files.
