I've pushed two more patches, attached here as well.

The first one implements the idea of moving the "compaction"
of the symbol table out of the GC and into the lookup/intern
process, so that we don't traverse the (possibly unchanged)
entire symbol table every time we do a major GC.

It seems to give a minor performance improvement to a few benchmarks,
but it could just be noise.  See the attached benchmark.diff
file.

The second just adds a few missing .gitignore rules for two files
I noticed under "Untracked files": libchicken.so.11 and
srfi-4.import.scm

Cheers,
Peter
