Is Guile 2.0 already released?

I think it makes sense to forget about guile 2.0 for the 2.14 release,
and require 2.0 for the 2.16 release.  We could scrap lots of hairy GC
code if we could move to 2.0 (2.0 supports boehm GC, right?)

There may be lots of hairiness in the module interface; I sort of made
up functions as I went along, since it was largely undocumented.
