force and delay fix for multiple values



Here is a modified version of location.t that extends force and delay to
work with multiple values.  This is based on the 3.0 sources, so any changes
made for 3.1 will need to be included (I doubt there are any though).  I
only changed the function make-delay and made the global variable %unforced
local to the closure of make-delay.
