 I plan to try and fully understand how Guile works over the next 6
 months to a year or so...  I don't know how long it will really take.
 It's not the only thing I do during my copious spare time.

 I will try and keep the Debian GNU/Linux packages of the Guile-1.3
 snapshots up-to-date and functional.  I plan to budget one day every
 week or two for it.  I've a lot of study to do, and cannot spend a
 whole lot of time on guile right now.

 That's how the Debian package is done.  If you look on
 ftp.debian.org, and browse in the unstable/source/interpreters, you
 can get ahold of my packaging `rules' and scripts.  They are in the
 diff.gz file.
