guile-www-2.9 (www cgi) form-data loses original order

[Alan Grover]

The (www cgi) module parses query-string/form-data parameters but loses 
the order of the name/value pairs.

Module: www cgi
Version: 2.9

Specifically, it reverses the order of the names (and values when a name 
appears more than once). This behavior is not documented (and thus not 
guaranteed).

RFC 1866 appears to be the relevant document:
section 8.2.1: "The fields are listed [by the user agent] in the order 
they appear in the document." Being able to recover this order in a cgi 
program may be desirable.

I would like to see an interface that delivers the key-values in order, 
including duplicates: e.g. ...?bob=1&joe=2&bob=3 should give us 
something like ((bob 1) (joe 2) (bob 3)).

I'm working on a suggested change to (www cgi) that addresses this and 
tolerates names without "=". It should be available within the next 2 days.
