 Phase 1 (gc-dev) - Add gc.h, make sure it compiles.
 Phase 2 (gc-dev2) - Change how strings are allocated, to clean up the code and be compatible with a new GC algorithm.
 Phase 3 (gc-dev3) - Change from using a Cheney-style copying collector to a naive mark&sweep algorithm.

-Notes for adding new thread data param
-- primitives that will now need to accept the param:

-- plan:
-  - update runtime, get it to compile
-  - have not adjusted any code that checks value of argc, will probably need to do that
-    EG for Cyc_num_op_va_list
-  - update any associated tools (dispatch.c, etc)
-  - update cgen
-  - integration
+Phase 4 (gc-dev4) - Integrating new tracing GC algorithm, added new thread data argument to runtime.
