[Chicken-users] nursery logic

[Brandon J. Van Every]

Makefile.am has a script that configures chicken-defaults.h with a 
nursery value.  The following condition will never be reached:

     if [ $$bestn -eq 0 ]; then \
           nursery="256*1024"; \
           echo "hm, no decent nursery value here ... using 256K"; \

because

       if [ $$bestn -eq 0 ]; then \
             best=$$tm; \
             bestn=$$n; \

is always executed on the first pass,  and n is never 0.  n is a member of

     for n in 16 24 32 48 64 128 256 512 1024; do \

I point this out in case the desired logic is other than the actual 
logic.  Also I wonder whether you want less-than-or-equal or simply 
less-than:

       elif [ $$tm -le $$best ]; then \
         best=$$tm; \
         bestn=$$n; \

less-than-or-equal says "if all things are the same, then prefer a 
bigger nursery."  less-than would say "...prefer a smaller nursery."
