Oops, global_scm.txt and local_scm.txt isn't supposed to be in the
repository. They are autogenerated by the gen_c_scheme.py program.
Will remove. But, local.scm can't be (load)-ed, because its inside a
function called "pd-instance-func" (see k_guile_load). The function works
like this:

(define (pd-instance-func pd-instance)
  (eval-file "local.scm")
  (eval-file file)
  (pd-set-inlet-func)
  (pd-set-cleanup-func))

and is created and defined for each time a file is loaded in k_guile.


The second reason is that by including global.scm and local.scm
directly into the k_guile.pd-linux binary instead of loading the
files somehow, there is no problem finding those
files when running the k_guile external. local.scm and global.scm aren't
supposed to be changed very often anyway.
