Re: gEDA-dev: guile-1.8 requirement

Hi Stuart,

Darn it, I was just about to send out a note on this.

Yes, I have been in contact with said individual and let him do this.
I really would like to push forward with guile-1.8.

guile 1.6.7 (.8 was a bug fix) has been out for 3 years already.
1.8.x has been out for a year.

It comes down to three scm_* functions: scm_from_locale_string, scm_is_true
and scm_is_false.  There are also a ton of deprecated guile functions that
I would like to scrape.

However, I'm willing to be a little flexible if there are 1.6.x
alternatives to these three functions.
