release notes: Got tired of waiting for Debian, and installed GNU dbm 1.10 under /usr/local; naturally, Guile-GDBM must follow suit.

README excerpt:
Guile-GDBM is a Guile module that provides Scheme bindings to the
GNU dbm library. It was originally written by Martin Grabmüller
and is now released under the GNU General Public License (GPL)
version 3.
Guile-GDBM has been tested with Guile 1.4.x, 1.8.7, 2.0.9,
and GNU dbm 1.8.3, 1.10.
NEWS excerpt:
- 1.1.0 | 2013-08-03
- bug-report address changed
Please send bug reports to the address shown by running command:

- support for GNU dbm 1.10
GNU dbm 1.9 (released 2011-08-12) added several "mode flags" and
runtime options; GNU dbm 1.10 (released 2011-11-13) added the
close-on-exec mode flag. These are now fully supported, if you
build Guile-GDBM against one of those versions (see following
NEWS entries for details).
Building against GNU dbm 1.8.3 (released 2002 or thereabouts) is
still supported, but of course functionality is degraded. There
is no plan to remove this support in the Guile-GDBM 1.x series.
- ‘gdbm-open’ MODE can include flags
Previously, the MODE arg was a simple symbol. Now it can also
be the form: ‘(MODE [FLAG...])’, where FLAG is from the set:
sync
nolock
nommap
cloexec
Note that not all flags are valid with all GNU dbm versions.
- ‘gdbm-setopt!’ handles more options
In addition to ‘cachesize’ and ‘fastmode’, these options are
now also handled:
syncmode
centfree
coalesceblks
mmap
maxmapsize
Note that not all options are valid with all GNU dbm versions.
- new proc: ‘gdbm-getopt’
Although GNU dbm 1.9 and later provide read-access to the
runtime options via the same C func underlying ‘gdbm-setopt!’,
namely ‘gdbm_setopt’, we separate this functionality at the
Scheme level to avoid horrible confusion (most options are both
readable and writable, but there exist some that are write-only
and some that are read-only). See manual.
- tested against Guile 2.0.9
As usual, we lamely keep ‘GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0’ in the env.
OTOH, testing is now full flow, i.e., from "sh autogen.sh"
onward, to exercise tools portability, as well.
- bootstrap tools upgraded
- GNU Automake 1.13.4
- Guile-BAUX 20130731.0252.f6841da
