I will look into this.  I think making it robust and reliable for
general usage is important since it is intended to be used outside of
Guix too.  So I prefer having a 100% solution.

OK I will drop them if possible.

I will work on Automake Guile compilation support after my exams in May
and pray for Ralf Wildenhues return!

Thank you very much for your review, your support and your kind words.
