It appears that module (ice-9 optargs-kw) is
renamed (ice-9 optargs) in guile 1.6.4?
originally, (ice-9 optargs) used #& style keywords. at
some point, someone changed it to use #: style keywords,
which broke all the code using the old style. in 1.4.x,
there is both (ice-9 optargs) and (ice-9 optargs-kw), so
as to be able to support both #& and #: style (perhaps
"uncleanly" but nonetheless). to accomodate 1.6.x and
other forgetful guiles, the guile-www configure script
checks the behavior of the installed "(ice-9 optargs)"
module; if it seems to support #: then during guile-www
installation, the references to "(ice-9 optargs-kw)" are
rewritten without the "-kw". see script "module-install"
for gory details.
the upshot is that if you are using guile 1.6.x,
guile-www "make install" should DTRT. that has worked
for awhile because "make check" doesn't do anything;
there has been no need to use pre-installed modules.
however, i see that you are doing some testing (cool!),
so perhaps we need to move this particular kludge to
"make all" time, to support pre-installed usage on those
systems w/o (ice-9 optargs-kw).
