[ANN] nyacc 3.03.0 released

Hi All,

For those unfamiliar with nyacc, the nominal release message appears below.

This release of nyacc is significant in that I have performed a major 
update of
the C99 preprocessor.  It is fully token based now.   There is a risk 
that I missed
something.  Please report any issues.

Also, I'm targeting for V4 to separate the cdata code.  To that end, 
I've created
a repo for cdata now.  It's at https://github.com/mwette/guile-cdata.


NYACC, for Not Yet Another Compiler Compiler, is set of guile modules for
generating parsers and lexical analyzers.  It also provides sample parsers
and pretty-printers using SXML trees as an intermediate representation.

It provides a decent C parser and a `FFI Helper' tool to help create
Guile Scheme bindings for C-based libraries.

It provides (partially implemented) compilers based on above mentioned
parsers to allow execution with Guile as extension languages.

Updates since V3.02.1:
* Reworked C99 preprocessor to be token-based. Tests show
   the C parser is running more than 15% faster on my x86_64 laptop.
   + For guild compoile-ffi ffi/gtk2.ffi, 3.03 is 15% faster than 3.02:
     3.02.0: 9m20s
     3.03.0: 7m56s
   Please report any issues.
* For C, define __has_include and __has_include_next in util.scm.
* Updated arch-info to add `-linux' to most arch names.
   In the future use `(with-arch "x86_64-linux"' to be more specific.
* removed c99/mach.d/*; c99 now uses module mach.scm directly
   + no intermediate files in mach.d/*, but more dependencies for parser
* for mes, added hooks for simple-match
* fixed bad (int8_t) arch-info for aarch64 and riscv64
* removed pdf files from distribution
* added guix.scm and etc/nyacc-guix.scm
* added `--external-cdata` option to compile-ffi; planning separation
   of (nyacc foreign cdata) to a separate package (foreign cdata);
   + see https://github.com/mwette/guile-cdata
   + for nyacc V4.0 release we will remove
       nyacc/foreign/{arch-info,cdata}.scm
* removed NYACC version number from documents

NYACC maturity is production/stable level.
