Indeed.  The ChangeLog doesn't explicitly mention its removal, so it
might be accidental.

Well, sort of.  I'm not sure we should still advertise `GUILE_SITE_DIR'
because using it leads to packages that do not honor their `--prefix'
(I've been doing it for some time...).  As for the `autofrisk' stuff,
I'm not sure it's really that useful, and it's certainly not very well
maintained, so perhaps we shouldn't advertise it either (`frisk' is
nice, though).

I'd like to know what others think.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
