Thanks.  I'm not sure what to do about this, tho.

I don't think we should offer two ways to get configuration
information about Guile.  When pkgconfig is better than our current
method, we should use it exclusively.  When not, we should keep our
current stuff.

(When I say "we should use pkgconfig exclusively", I mean we should
use it to re-implement guile-config in a compatible way.  We should
definitely continue to offer the guile-config interface.)

Why would they need this choice?  [genuine question(tm)]
