[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] Fix #999 by swapping dependency declarations

[Peter Bex]

Hi all,

Here's another stupid bug fixed.  Turns out that the extras unit
doesn't really use anything from the ports unit, so it's easily fixed.

This *could* break some programs (that were already broken) where extras
is USEd and procedures from ports are used.  These should be easily
fixed, and they were already broken in the first place, so I don't
consider this a real issue (and the reported bug is worse; it's a
segfault).  For programs which are a module this won't cause issues.
I've added a note to NEWS so that people will be aware why their
programs might suddenly be failing.

I expect some fallout in Salmonella, because test scripts occasionally
forget to import ports (as even happened in chicken core itself, see
the patch).

Cheers,
Peter
