   This cgi::make-cookie breaks under guile-1.6 because it's using a
   #&key and the (bound?) macro which seem to be no longer available
   or depreciated. Please accept my patch below which fixes the
   problem:

sounds like guile-1.6 breaks guile-www, not the other way around.

the solution to supporting both #&foo and #:foo style taken for
guile-1.4.x is to leave (ice-9 optargs) alone and introduce (ice-9
optargs-kw) which handles the #:foo style.  perhaps this can be done for
guile-1.6 so that it supports interoperability w/ old code.

another idea if guile-1.6 has no desire to support #&foo, is to provide
(ice-9 optargs-kw) as a simple wrapper/alias for its changed (ice-9
optargs), at which point i would be happy to change guile-www to use
(ice-9 optargs-kw) since that would be available in guile-1.4.x and 1.6.
