[Jscheme-user] patch: compiler fix for AND, add load-when-compile

[jeffbz <je...@co...>]

Here's a patch for the jscheme compiler. I found that (and ...) gets compiled
to return #t when all arguments are true rather than the value of the last
argument like it should. Also, I added a hack that provides a
'load-when-compile' form that evaluates definitions in a file at compile
time. I needed this to make some functions available for compile-time
macroexpansion (this fixes the problem I posted about before). There's also
a similar modification that makes the compiler's read pass descend into
(load)ed files. I can see that not everybody might want this behavior, but
it made sense to me since otherwise you'd be loading interpreted definitions
from compiled code instead of just compiling everything.
This applies to src/jsint/compiler/Compiler.scm in jscheme-7.2
