Log Message:
Update to Chicken 4.5.0.
Submitted by Peter Bex on IRC.

Changes in 4.5.0

- internal fixes of handling of alternative installation-prefix
  in setup-api
- certain compiler-warnings that are in really just notes
  and don't indicate a possible error (like reimport of
  identifiers) are only shown with -S or in verbose mode
- fixed handling of VARDIR in `chicken-install' (thanks to
  Davide Puricelli)
- `chicken-install -test' doesn't runs tests for dependencies
- when a non-else clause follows an else-clause in `cond',
  `case' or `select' a warning (note) is shown in verbose
  mode
- removed the deprecated `define-extension' and
  `define-compiled-syntax'
- `chicken-uninstall' now always asks before removing
  extensions, unless `-force' is given
- improved performance of keyword-argument processing slightly
- `export' outside of a module definition has no effect
- `number->string' now accepts arbitrary bases between 2 and 16
  (thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- fixed `standard-extension' in `setup-api' module
- literal constants keep their identity, even when inlined
- Unit library: added `fxodd?' and `fxeven?'
- All hardcoded special forms have been replaced with
  syntax definitions that expand into internal forms, this
  allows redefinition and shadowing of all Scheme core forms
- faster implementations of `get' and `put!'
- faster implementation of `assq' in unsafe mode
- the `-sx' option prefixes each output line with `;'
- slightly better expansion performance
- more documentation of the C API (thanks to Peter Bex)
- `module' supports a shorthand form that refers directly
  to a file to be included as the module body
- added runtime option `-:G' to force GUI mode (on platforms
  that distinguish between GUI and non-GUI applications)
- removed the unsafe runtime library (`libuchicken'), this
  simplifies and speeds up the build and reduces the risk
  of executables loading library units from different
  variants of the runtime system
- removed the `-unsafe-libraries' option from `chicken'
  and `csc'
- removed bootstrapping target and bootstrapping files from
  development repository; to bootstrap the system, either
  use a release or development-snapshot tarball or fetch
  a statically linked precompiled `chicken' binary from
  http://chicken.wiki.br/chicken-projects/bootstrap/
- Jim Ursetto provided some fixes for building universal
  binaries on Mac OS X
- `csc' now compiles and links Windows resource (.rc) files
  when given on the command line
- `chicken-install' and `chicken-uninstall' have an embedded
  manifest that suppresses the elevation dialog on Windows
  Vista and later when UAC is activated (Thanks to Thomas Chust)
- the `install' program is not used in the build on mingw
  and mingw/MSYS platforms, since this is broken on older
  mingw versions
- line-number-information is now properly handled (in the
  few places where it is used) correctly for included files;
  the source file is given in trace-output in addition to
  the line number
- removed compiler warning for shared objects compiled in
  unsafe mode
- unboxing is now only done in unsafe mode
- in unsafe mode, pointer-accessors from the `lolevel' unit
  are now handled intrinsically by the compiler
- `chicken-install' accepts now relative pathnames for the
  `-prefix' option
- `define-record-type' now optionally allows using SRFI-17
  setters as record-field modifiers
- `integer?' returns `#f' for NaN and infinite numbers
- `csc' now has an `-no-elevation' option for embedding a
  manifest that prevents the elevation dialog on Windows
  Vista and later when IAC is activated
- the `,d' csi command displays qualified symbols properly
- symbols starting with the `#\#' character trigger an
  error when encountered by the reader
- Unit posix: `glob->regexp' now always returns a regular
  expression object or optionally an SRE
- Unit posix: `terminal-port?' and `terminal-size' have been
   implemented for Windows, the latter always returns `0 0',
  though (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- Unit regex: `regexp' now accepts a regular expression
  object as argument
- Unit regex: removed `glob?'
- fixed bug in `chicken-install'/`chicken-uninstall' and
  `chicken-status' that prevented collapsed command-line
  options to be handled correctly.
- disabled runpath-fix for deployed applications for netbsd
  (but resurrected providing a runpath at all, thanks to
  Peter Bex)
- Peter Bex provided documentation for the `C_closure' C API
  function
