Ah yeah, seems to work without it...!

Cool, done. For (inputs ...) anyway... the above native-inputs did
still seem needed, presumably because we *are* running the bootstrap
code in this case.

It's true, but more accurately, it will be true in the next version,
since guile-goblins v0.8 doesn't have finished networking support.
But yes, that's coming, so I put this comment above the description:
;; In guile-goblins 0.9, OCapN support will be added (it already
;; exists in racket-goblins). At that point we should add the
;; following to this description:
;;
;; Goblins allows for cooperation between networked programs
;; in a mutually suspicious network through OCapN, the Object
;; Capability Network. This includes collaboration across
;; runtimes; for instance, programs written in the Guile and Racket
;; versions of Goblins are able to speak to each other.
And we can do that then. As said in the other email, I don't think this
is far away.
Thanks to both Maxime and Ludo' for reviewing! I pushed it upstream.
Happy hacking with guile-goblins... if someone does anything with it,
let me know. The next release will be the first big guile-goblins
release to celebrate, but was eager to get what we have up there. :)
