   Gnome-guile used guile-snarf, but now that function's gone.  I looked
   through NEWS, ChangeLog, and libguile/ChangeLog briefly, but wasn't
   able to figure out what the alternative (if any) was.

here's the libguile/ChangeLog entry:

2002-02-11  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Move `guile_filter_doc_snarfage'
        to `noinst_PROGRAMS'.
        (bin_SCRIPTS): Move all values to `noinst_SCRIPTS'; delete.
        (noinst_PROGRAMS, noinst_SCRIPTS): New.

i did this change because i couldn't find any reference to these
programs in the docs.  i posted a warning to guile-user also:

http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/guile-user/2002-February/002523.html              
       

   Is there an alternative?  I'm trying to figure out how to fix
   gnome-guile -- I'll also check CVS (this is with 0.20).

probably the best thing to do is to write a brief info page on
guile-snarf (and any other scripts we want to support -- i see that
guile-sdl uses guile-doc-snarf, for example).  once that's done, there's
no problem moving the referenced scripts from noinst_SCRIPTS back to
bin_SCRIPTS.

in the same vein, someone (i volunteer) should write a page on
guile-tools.  where these new docs should be included is another
question.
