Maybe Guile should adopt the script as ‘guild test-am’ or somesuch.
Mathieu assigned copyright to the FSF for the Automake patch and I
believe Maxim would be willing to do the same for the more recent
patches.

If there’s interest and someone willing to commit the change, I
volunteer to integrate the script.  I can add a node in the manual after
“4.8 Distributing Guile Code” called “Testing Guile Code” that links to
Maxim’s forthcoming SRFI 64 documentation and explains how to use the
script with Automake.

Thoughts?
