I usually use Fedora or Cygwin. Neither supports a guile-1.6 package out-of-the-box. I could install a parallel implementation from source, but it's a hassle and I don't really have a *need* to run the old guile 1.6. The only use would be for testing the readable code... but hey, we have you :-). In all seriousness, I've been trying to be conservative about the functions I used in implementation. For example, I've generally stuck to R5RS. My expectation is that this code will be converted to not only other Schemes but also to other entirely-different Lisps (Common Lisp, Arc, Clojure, ACL2, etc.). If we can make that transition easy, it'll help adoption. I've also worked to create a whole bunch of tests, so "make check" really beats on a lot of code. That way, a "make check" will quickly identify a lot of problems, reducing the risk of undetected problems. The "make check" is documented in the README, and it's a standard convention anyway, so it shouldn't be hard to find out about. --- David A.
