release notes:

  I forgot to mention in NEWS that the configure script now
  also checks for the required modules (mentioned in README)
  and errors out if they are not found.

  Tested w/ w3m 0.5.3+git20210102 and Guile 2.2.7.

  Obligatory refresher link:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface

README excerpt:

  This directory contains WIKID, comprising:
  - a wiki daemon
  - a CGI front-end
  - an administrative tool
  - some (sample) seed pages
  - documentation

NEWS for 1.4 (2021-12-20):

  - socket I/O uses bytevectors for Guile 2.x

    If the Guile is 2.x (or later), socket I/O procedures (e.g.,
    ‘send’ and ‘recv!’) take care to convert strings to and from
    bytevectors for the actual I/O operation.

    BTW, this change surfaced a buglet in Guile 2.x ‘recvfrom!’ arg
    processing, namely a classic OBOE in the END parameter check.

  - convenience script "try-with-w3m" during "make check"

    The configure script now checks for w3m(1) and if it's found,
    "make check" creates script "check-wikid.d/try-with-w3m" and
    mentions it with a "Hint" right before going into the wait loop.

    If, OTOH, you don't have w3m installed, well then, install it and
    try again!

  - bootstrap/maintenance tools
