[bug-libmatheval] Why is guile-config required by libmatheval ?

[Romain Garbi]

Hi !

I have downloaded libmatheval a few days ago to use it in one of my 
projects. This is a good and convenient tool, great job.

However, I was wondering why the ./configure script requires me to have 
the package guile-config installed in order to make the compilation 
process possible. This is even more annoying since guile-config 
installation design is so convenient that I had to download and install 
at least 5 packages to get it work. I was also struck by the fact that 
libmatheval has apparently no dependencies on guile-config, confirmed by 
the fact that it builds easily under windows, using only a few tricks to 
configure the build manually.

Anyway, has anyone an explanation ?

Thanks in advance,
Romain
