Still, I don't believe it solves the problem, rather, it presents a work-around. The idea behind auto.* tools was to generate a configuration file *for a given package*, i.e. a private header. However, here the private header is made global and as such makes linking Guile to other packages unreasonably difficult. Imagine a developer who wishes to use Guile as an extension language for his package, he then would need to change almost all his configuration suite.
