This is a bit of an annoyance with some of the Guile support added
late last year. To run make distcheck, you need to add
"--enable-guile" to the configure line. The Guile build isn't
necessary at other times, and it removes the need for guile-dev as a
dependency. If you are running make distcheck, you'll need guile-dev
and to enable it. Since most people in their daily lives don't need to
do a distcheck, we haven't really said anything about it. Thanks for
checking into it, though.

It's probably a good thing to keep in the dependency list, then, since
people are still working on older systems where this might cause a
problem.

Thanks!
