        Take your time, Neil.  I will be engaged in "my
        guile analysis" for quite some time.

        And there is no chance for me coming up with first
        well formed proposals before, say the end of this
        month, although I`ll try to supply my comments sooner.

        On which version exactly should I build? 
        I produced my printout and info files from: 
                

        @set MANUAL_EDITION 1.0        
        ...
        ...
        @title Guile Reference Manual
        @subtitle Edition @value{MANUAL_EDITION}, \
                for use with Guile @value{VERSION}
                                   # this evaluated to 1.6.2 

        @subtitle $Id: guile.texi,v 1.2.2.17 2002/09/25 00:12:21 ossau Exp $

        
        Is this OK, or should I switch to a source 
        from CVS?

        Taking the fun of playing the harsh critic,
        I would feel obliged to propose better ways,
        naturally.
