Thanks. I'm not sure what to do about this, tho. I don't think we should offer two ways to get configuration information about Guile. When pkgconfig is better than our current method, we should use it exclusively. When not, we should keep our current stuff. (When I say "we should use pkgconfig exclusively", I mean we should use it to re-implement guile-config in a compatible way. We should definitely continue to offer the guile-config interface.) > The file won't be useful without pkg-config installed, of course, > but this gives users a choice of configuration means. Why would they need this choice?
