	Where does it say new programs written in 2007 have to run
on OSes running back in 2003/2004 out-of-the-box?  Really, it's not
hard to build guile-1.8.x.  It seems everytime guile changes on us, 
we have the same discussion. :-|

PS. Btw, it is possible to build a universal Linux binaries that will
run almost any Linux (RH 7.x and up).  If I only had the time to finish
up this work.
