Sigh .. C would need the C++ namespace feature.

Ok, my guess is that we are probably going to end up
prefixing everyting with "mu_" 8-).

It sounded, in your email that you've already started doing this,
if not let me know, I'll take care of this on my side(for example
some application, mailutils/mail, may be using the debug_t object
and it should be change to mu_debug_t).

A note, I have /usr/lib/guile, but not <libguile.h> nor guile-config.
If configure fails to fine the requirement for guile, should it not
skip those directories?

# ./configure
# make
