Our current =E2=80=98guile-next=E2=80=99 package works fine, with JI= T, on all 4 platforms.

I=E2=80=99m working on this last item. We still have to make progress on the other issues though. Should make next week (or next week-end?) a bug-squashing party where we=E2=80=99d all join as time permits? How does that sound? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
