I was investigating what needs to be done to drop guile-1.8 from the
tree (bug 590558, 587252). sci-chemistry/coot is one of the blocking
packages (bug 591410). It has a version bump request open for 18
months (bug 639760) and hasn't been maintained in as long. The new
version doesn't appear to work with guile-2.0 either, though it seems
that it may be possible to build without guile? Something for a
maintainer...

If we just drop it, we can remove the following dependencies as well:

sci-chemistry/coot (no rev deps)
sci-libs/coot-data (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot)
sci-libs/ssm (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot)
sci-libs/gpp4 (no rev deps)
sci-libs/cctbx (no rev deps)
sci-libs/clipper (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot, sci-libs/cctbx)
sci-libs/libccp4 (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot, sci-libs/{clipper,ssm}
sci-libs/monomer-db (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot)
sci-libs/mmdb (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot,
               sci-libs/{clipper,gpp4,libcpp4,ssm}
sci-chemistry/reduce (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot)
dev-scheme/guile-gui (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot; dead home page)
dev-scheme/guile-www (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot)
dev-scheme/net-http (rev deps: sci-chemistry/coot; dead home page)
x11-libs/guile-gtk (rev deps: dev-scheme/guile-gui, dev-scheme/guile-gui)

Thoughts?
