I am not sure about the semantics of finalization in the Boehm-Weiser
garbage collector, and in particular whether we are allowed to "cons"
while running the finalizer. Apart from that, you probably want to use
GC_register_finalizer_no_order, which is what the Java implementation
does, and which deals properly with cyclic structures.

Would you mind if I send an email to the GC mailing list before
committing this patch? Just to make sure.
