It would be something of a hassle, yes. My main use for Guile is as a scripting workhorse. Wherever I go, I'd like Guile to go with me (inasmuch as my movement is restricted to vaguely unixoid systems) with a minimum of fuss. Depending on another external lib complicates that. Guile depends on qthreads as it is, but that is essentially resolved by bundling qthreads with Guile. Which is why I mentioned bundling GMP. -- Jeffrey T.
