I think we’ve gone way too far in kludgeland.  ;-)

The other idea I had, and which is known to work, it to rely exclusively
on auto-compilation.  By definition, Guile’s auto-compilation mode will
compile things in the right order, thereby allowing us to compile
everything in one process.  Probably not parallelizable though, since
this is under Guile’s control, not ours.

Would you like to play with that?  Otherwise I can give it a try later.

Thank you,
Ludo’.
