It's isn't really a "new" new package.  It is a library made from a
collection of the string functions provided by Gnulib.

If packaging it ended up being a great difficulty, you could end up
getting the same functionality by putting the identical Gnulib functions
in the ./lib directory of the Guile tarball.
