Thanks for the patches! I will incorporate them into the CVS version.

It's the "ur"-macro-system that will be loaded by psyntax-bootstrap.scm.
In order to expand psyntax.scm (which contains highlevel macros), we
need a highlevel macro-expander. This is psyntax.pp. After that we
can ignore it.

It didn't occur to me that we can simply use "-hygienic" on the
psyntax-bootstrap.scm script. So it looks like psyntax.pp isn't
needed anymore...
