Hello,

I had pondered switching to guile-2.0 ages ago, but up until the
latest upload guile-2.0 was only available on a small subset of archs
supported by guile-1.8, which is why I shelved the plan. Some archs,
including ia64 (which afaik is a release-arch) are still missing.

I am not yet sure what is the lesser evil: Not providing guile on some
archs or  staying with 1.8 for the time being. - Let's ask upstream
;-) Ludovic, can you offer a suggestion?

cu Andreas
