Hey folks, After talking with Ludovic I think we're aiming for next friday for a release, 19 june. In order to test thoroughly, I'd like to put Guile master into freeze mode this Wednesday, 10 June. What does that mean? It means, between 10 June and the 1.9.1 release, no new code should go into

What I would suggest is, given that automake ships with an install.sh, add the -p option to install.sh, corresponding to install(1), and use it by default. I can't think of any downsides. That sounds like a bad idea. Imagine the following (not unlikely) sequence: 1) install header.h 2)
