This is also the first version that introduces a dependency on guile-cairo, available at http://home.gna.org/guile-cairo/.
Trying to up grade (actually, to current bzr) to this caused me a bit of dependency hell:
guile-cairo requires cairo >= 1.4.0, but my system (fedora core 6; still rather current) only has cairo 1.2.6.
I got somthing working by hacking the cairo additions back out, which turned to be relatively easy. Any chance the guile-cairo requirement could be made conditional on finding the necessary version? Much the same way the other sub-packages are only built if their dependencies are found.
I've started pondering how this might be done; the annoying part seems to be turning the gdk-spec.scm and gtk-spec.scm into configure-processed .in files to substitute a few module names (or the empty string, if no guile-cairo). Does this seem like a reasonable approach?
