If this is going to change, is there an example to follow? For now, you have to use it. The story of ‘build-expression->derivation’ is that of an unfinished transition to G-expressions. :-) There’s a branch called ‘wip-build-systems-gexp’ that aims to complete that transition, but I haven’t yet gotten around to actually finishing the work. This is one of the things I want us to complete for 1.0 though, so sooner rather than later. Thanks, Ludo’.
