   Sorry, the *-pers-scheme template was assuming RCS, and I was using
   CVS, and so the tarball came out empty.  It's actually got stuff in
   it now.

oops, that's a bug.  do you have a patch i can apply to the template?
if not, i will add a simple check for presence of RCS or CVS subdirs.

   However, rather than downloading it directly, it might be nice if
   people downloaded

   http://synthcode.com/code/gumm.scm

cool.

i notice the "dependency checks might be nice" comment.  have you
considered adapting (scripts use2dot) for this purpose?

generally, i wonder if there exists already autoconf macros for guile
module checking.  it would be nice to say in configure.in:

  AC_GUILE_MODULE_CHECK([(ams uri)])
  AC_GUILE_MODULE_REQUIRED([(ams ansi-color)])

the second one would use the first and signal error if not found in
%load-path.  another idea is to write use2acinclude so that the
programmer only need add "AC_GUILE_MODULE_DEPS" in configure.in and run:

  use2acinclude foo/*.scm
  aclocal
  autoconf ...
