For compiling stuff (namely guile-dev), it's exclusive on Ubuntu as
well.  But once compiled, you can keep executables linked with either

and can access them as guile-2.0 (and just guile) and guile-1.8.

Stuff not working.  Crashes.  Errors.

Only the ancient version will work for now.

No idea here: we've had some recent changes, and ./configure --help
should mention some options for specifying paths to fonts.
