Thanks! Like mentioned in other mails, the build system is a collection of Guile modules. It is actually meant to be embedded in the project. This is a design decission because I can rely on Guile been installed on distributions, but not the build system. So if the build system is contained within the project itself, problem solve! However, like I described in an other mail, the build system does not do everything for you (yet). You need to define some glue. Nothing compared to Autotools I would say. Do you have a project in mind where it would be interesting to see if this applies well? Perhaps a variant of the `hello' package with autotools completely stripped out?
