The 1.5.1 release should happen in the next day or so, but it's not
really supposed to be public, and so I'd really rather it wasn't used
for anything other than testing.

If there are no major problems found immediately, the plan is to
release 1.6.0 after a couple of modifications to the README,
GUILE-VERSION, etc.

In other words, 1.6.0 is probably ready to go, and 1.5.1 will just be
the double-check.  Unless something ugly happens, 1.6.0 should be
released within a week.

Thanks
