Again, I prefer that all such documents are included in the
distribution-- it's twenty times harder for someone w/o CVS access to
find those files if they want to take a peek (perhaps because we point
them at the document when they ask a question).
Guile is still far enough away from being a slick polished library that
I think everything in CVS should be packaged up for users, still.
Thus, I prefer devel/ and devel/in-progress and the latter can have a
README to the effect that the documents are meant for developers,
shouldn't be trusted completely, and can largely be ignored unless
you're hacking the code.
