[elk] subversion tree, R5RS conformity



hi sam,

thank you for integrating the P_Pow patch that quickly with elk...

i've got some problems with the current elk-trunk subversion tree.  i
tried to checkout the tree with subversion, but i got an incomplete
tree: most of the lib/_xxx_ extensions are missing as well as the
toplevel ./Makefile.am and some of the doc/_xxx_ subdirs.  therefore i
am not able to build elk from the svn tree.  the ./bootstrap script is
missing, too.

when checking out, subversion says:

"svn: insn 9212 has non-positive length"

before finishing.  is this a serious error?  i'm not (yet) too
familiar with svn...  or is the elk-trunk tree really incomplete?

------

while following a discussion on the linux-audio-devel-list regarding
strong/weak typing etc. i noticed a R5RS inconformity of elk:

> (exact? (* 0 440.0))
 #f

which should be true:

not that important, just for the record...

all the best,

martin
