Hello Guile maintainers,

Yuval Langer reports 2 dead links in the Guile manual (see below):

1) (html_node/SLIB.html) ../slib_html/Require.html#Require
   (guile.html) slib.html#Require
Replacement --> https://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/slib/Require.html#Require

2) (html_node/JACAL.html) ../jacal_html/index.html#Top
   (guile.html) jacal.html#Top
Replacement --> https://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/jacal/index.html

But there are many more. I checked the external links (http*) in the monolithic version, and found these:

* http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/t-y-scheme/t-y-scheme.html
404
