release notes:

  i suppose everyone knows now that composability requires phase
  separation.  well, some of us are slower than others...

README excerpt:

  This directory contains Guile-SDL, a set of modules that provide
  bindings for SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to enable Guile
  programmers to do all the nice things you can do with SDL.

  Most of the SDL functions have been wrapped with the exception of a
  few functions that were too C-centric.  The SDL Threads and the Audio
  functions haven't been included because of the problems with Guile
  code being run from more than one thread.  However audio programming
  can be done with the module `(sdl mixer)' that requires the SDL_mixer
  library.

  Also included is SDL_gfx 2.0.16 (by Andreas Schiffler) and bindings
  for it.

NEWS excerpt:

  - 0.3.8 | 2007-10-11

    - new (sdl misc-utils) proc: fader/3p
    - new (sdl misc-utils) proc: toroidal-panner/3p

        These are three-phase exposing variants of `fade-loop!' and
        `toroidal-panner', respectively.  (In fact, the old procs have
        been rewritten to use the new.)  Three-phase procs return three
        values, one for each phase of "init", "next" and "done".  This
        lets caller maintain control for fine(r)-grained scheduling.
        See manual for an example of the stylized call sequence.

        NOTE: Both `fade-loop!' and `toroidal-panner' are scheduled for
        removal by 2008-01-01.  DO NOT RELY ON THEM.

    - new (sdl gfx) proc: blit-rgba
    - new (sdl gfx) proc: set-pixel-alpha!

        The latter wraps `SDL_gfxSetAlpha' in the underlying (SDL_gfx)
        library, but the natural schemified name would clash w/ SDL's,
        so this was chosen for uniqueness as well as to emphasize its
        per-pixel nature.

    - docs have more info

        The manual now lists valid values for flagstash:* and *-enums,
        mined using `flagstash-flags' and `enumstash-enums', respectively.
