The CVS contains now some experimental code depending on the static
variable guile_use_exceptions (maybe should be accessible from guile, too)
using gh_catch() to catch exceptions on guile level within calls to guile
procedures. It prints an appropiate error message including the name of
the procedure and the error itself.
