* I have received Guile libffi glue code from Anthony Green but I have
yet to try it out.
I have no ideas how to support the development of packages for Guile
that can be dynamically linked into a running application. Maybe
automake can be used to automate most of the issues.
* There is now some code at
One nice thing is, however, that developers and users of Guile
packages have already installed Guile. So we might able to use Scheme
to describe and handle the build process. I would like that much more
than the arcane shell based implementations of autoconf, automake,
etc.

One more random thought about packages: I think it would be an
advantage if the configuration informations are not contained in a
bunch of files (like the PLUGIN stuff, or like tclConfig.sh) that have
to be found and analyzed, but rather can be accessed via a small
program that can be assumed to be in the PATH. That program (probably
a shell script, but not necessarily) can be queried about several
interesting things like prefix and exec_prefix of libguile or told to
do some tasks like installing a new module (and constructing a new
guile executable if that is necessary). It might even be used for such
generic things as uninstalling Guile (or downloading, configuring,
building and installing the latest version of Guile...)
but it doesn't address G-Wrap.
