[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] load files from CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH on require

[Evan Hanson]

The documentation for `require` indicates that "the current include
path, which defaults to the pathnames given in CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH"
will be searched for files to load. However, this isn't currently the
case:

    $ ls foo
    bar.scm
    $ CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH=./foo csi
    ...
    #;> (require 'bar)
    Error: (require) cannot load extension: bar

This patch adjusts this behavior so that `##sys#include-pathnames` are
searched for files to load on require. I'm not sure if this is the
intended behavior, or if things are already as they should be and the
documentation is wrong, but it seems correct to me.

In any case, I believe this change only affects interpreted code since
AFAICS there's no way to add to the included pathnames in compiled code.
