Yes, you'd rather use the M4 macros shipped in `guile.m4' and that were
documented in the 1.6 manual [0] (for some reason, this part of the
documentation vanished in 1.8).
For instance, you could use the following tests within your `configure.ac':
GUILE_PROGS
GUILE_CHECK_RETVAL([correct_version_p],
[(exit (string>=? (version) "1.6.7"))])
Hope this helps,
Ludovic.
