Agreed, and I don't know if this is the case or not. I would add on another criteria, that we should avoid adding modules to Guile unless they are to be used in Guile itself. For everything else, there is our CPAN that we need to make -- it will provide more freedom both for module authors/packagers and for users. Regards, Andy --=20 http://wingolog.org/
