OK; the alternative to feeding me well tested patches, is putting less 
well tested stuff, but then you have to be available to fix problems as 
soon as they arise. If your connectivity is flaky, it's better to test 
more carefully.

Yes please do.

Yes, I will look into that; there are a couple of patches floating on 
the net for that. You can do

  gub-builder.py -p local --force-package build guile

Yes, try "make download" to get everything.
