Thanks---I didn't know about your work on lua. Should be included in Guile
proper IMO!

(Some people complain about Guile being large. I think it would be good if
there was a way to create a minimal Guile for those that want to ship Guile
with their application. Perhaps even the Guile distribution could be
modularized in some way.)
