[ANN] guile-scsh 0.2

[Chaos Eternal]

I here by announce the 0.2 version of guile-scsh, which is ported to
guile-2.x and now
available.

you can get it from:
https://gitorious.org/guile-scsh/guile-scsh

Scsh, the scheme shell, a Unix Shell using scheme syntaxes, and much
more powerful than bourne shell.
Scsh is seized development for many years, and was ported to guile-1.x
10 years ago.

Now it is reborn with power of guile-2.x.
guile-scsh is made a module, and can be easily integrated into your scripts.

See USAGE file in the repository for more infomation.

This is good news: I remember reading about scsh many years ago, and
recently wanting to try it again.

I look forward to being able to test a version with job control and
filename completion!

Also, a shell seems an absolutely classic case of where sweet-expressions (
http://readable.sourceforge.net/ ) would be a big win, and running the
shell under sweetened guile shouldn't require any code changes. I think you
should recommend that as the default way of using it.

This is great news!

However, looking through the sources, it appears that one of the files
(scsh/fname.scm) is non-free software.  It contains the following
header:

  ;;; Code for processing Unix file names.
  ;;; Copyright (c) 1992 by Olin Shivers (shivers@lcs.mit.edu).
  ;;; Please imagine a long, tedious, legalistic 5-page gnu-style copyright
  ;;; notice appearing here to the effect that you may use this code any
  ;;; way you like, as long as you don't charge money for it, remove this
  ;;; notice, or hold me liable for its results.

If we can't convince Olin Shivers to relicense it, we'll have to rewrite
that file from scratch.

What does this file do?

hi Mark
I found this file is originally from savannah CVS repository:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/guile/guile-scsh/fname.scm?root=guile&view=markup
And the license was like that.
Also, there multiple files in the repo written by the same person,
Olin Shivers, has clearly declared GPL.

I will ask Olin whether he is ok to change license.

hi all,

Fortunately,  I found the same file in newest release of scsh has
changed licensing statement to GPL. I will port that file here.
