Hi David,

I think that the commits at 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/log/?h=stable-2.0&qt=grep&q=make-vtable 
may indicate the correct code transformation that you need to make for 
old uses of scm_make_vtable_vtable.  Those commits only show Scheme code 
examples, but I would guess that it will not be hard to work out the 
corresponding C code transformation.
