Not that it's much to do with me, but while I'm working on the docs I
made this change.

        * gh.texi (Scheme to C): In gh_scm2newstr, lenp is size_t* not int*.
        This changed in guile 1.6, the docs weren't updated.

Dunno if the manual itself needs a compatibility note.  If no-one else
has tripped over it and the interface itself is considered obsolete
then hardly worth worrying.

 Given a Scheme string @var{str}, return a pointer to a new copy of its
 contents, followed by a null byte.  If @var{lenp} is non-null, set
 @code{*@var{lenp}} to the string's length.
