Hi Mark,
I think you and Ludo may actually be thinking along similar lines. It seems like you're saying that you'd like one tarball that contains only Guile-specific code, and another one with Guile plus some dependencies plus maybe a nice build script.
I don't have an opinion on whether to separate the libunistring code from the main Guile repo, but I really really like the idea of bundling dependencies with Guile, and giving the users the option of whether to statically link Guile with them or dynamically link with system libraries. It's obviously not ideal, but I think it's a great idea for making Guile more portable. And I think it's the least bad way to help with dependencies.
