I think that I understand some of your concerns.  In this upload, I
added some descriptions for patches you have introduced.  I needed
to update them for new gauche 0.9.  Besides, I added new patch.

I think that descriptions for patches/chengesets help maintaining
package.

If we will go this way, sooner is better.  In the long run, I think
separation would be better.  See, Gauche 0.9 depends on zlib, for example.
When we have many extensions, separation will be needed, perhaps.
