This is interesting. A couple of hours ago I had the discussion with
Federico
whether there is a reason for compiling guile in LilyDev postinstall
based on branch_release-1-8 rather
than just taking guile-1.8.8.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org.
Are the fixes on top of the guile-1.8.8 release really important for us?
