I'd be inclined to make one radical change, and not worry about the old stuff. Someone can still grab slib.scm from 1.6.4 or whatever if they really need it, ie. don't want to update immediately. > ;; These can be removed if/when we require a "new enough" > ;; version of SLIB. I'd also be inclined to do that now too, I don't think there's any special merit in an old slib. Anyone wanting one can always (presumably) run it up with "guile -lguile.init" the way slib specifies. > (provide 'hash) > ... > (if (not (defined?

If slib has a problem then leave the fixes for there :-). _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
