It was rhetorical - why not just use autoconf to do all the dirty work?
Also, is the idea to migrate all of the scripting away from guile and
towards python, or update the guile dependencies (as it seems goosh is
part of the os process module now, guile-gtk is deprecated in favor of
guile-gnome, guile net-http and guile-gui look unsupported...)? I'd
like to begin preparing a rpm for fedora (now that most of the
dependencies are part of the distributions), but their peer review
process might screen out unsupported deps...

Tim
