Hi Greg,
It was mentioned here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/8538.
Even Debian (stable) doesn't have a package for this yet, so we're all
in the `./configure; make; sudo make install' boat for now. But it
seems clear that using libunistring is the right long term thing.
Of course, if it causes you any serious obstacle, please say.
Regards,
Neil

You probably meant Debian Unstable? Because it's not there yet either!

I see - I didn't notice that because the subject line didn't say "new
dependency". I don't think it's in pkgsrc either. I see only 0.9 on
the libunistring home page, 27 May 2009, with no previous ones. So my
immediate reaction is that this is nowhere near mature enough to depend
on, but a) I don't know if that's fair and b) importing it does seem
worse.

GNU libunistring uses code that's been in Gnulib for a while now and
used by several GNU packages. FWIW, <unistr.h> and other files mention
2001 as the first copyright year.
Thanks,
