Scheduled == we have this person who'll do coding after he'll do this or that.

Ok, I still think this message-catalogs idea is needlessly complex,
but we can agree to disagree on that issue.

Cite: "Keep solution as simple as possible, but not simpler" The first
part is first part: "keep you solution as simple as possible". I think
that your solution is too complex for today's needs and not complex
enough to tomorrows. But I'd be happy to have it in official GUILE as
well. I want *any* working solution there. Right now you can ask GUILE
about pkglibdir or libdir and it'll answer :
--
$ /somewhere/there/bin/guile-config info pkglibdir
/somewhere/there/lib/guile
$ /somewhere/there/bin/guile-config info libdir
/somewhere/there/lib
--
But it does not matter if you'll put your library in $pkglibdir or
$libdir - unless it's "/lib" or "/usr/lib" it'll not be found. This is
not acceptable IMNSHO. *Any* other WORKING solution is better then
non-working one.
