Now we should find out what these guys had in mind *before* Guile was first put under version control. ;-) Anyway, I still don=E2=80=99t know what to do with .sls. But the fact that= R7 may come up with its own extension makes me think that maybe we should just forget about that extension, as everyone will eventually do. Hmm? Ludo=E2=80=99.
