The package "comint", upon which "cmuscheme" is based, provides a
mechanism for sending commands stored in a file to the underlying
process on start-up. Cmuscheme does not currently make use of this
mechanism, although this could be useful for Scheme interpreters that
do not provide such a functionality themselves or for providing Emacs
specific customizations.
With the following patch cmuscheme instructs comint to use such a
start file if it's present on the file system. The name of the start
file depends on the interpreter used, so that interpreter specific
customizations are possible.
