     crucially, to Alexandra Barchunova for her hard work.

   * enhancement: sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die on Windows now accepts
     :application-type argument, which can be :console or :gui. :gui allows
     having GUI applications without an automatically appearing console window.

-    pointers to the start of a valid-looking object, not merely point
-    to within the allocated part of the page, in order to pin the page.
