Much simpler indeed! That builds successfully on OSX, and you've saved
me going down my next path of revisiting the whole native tools
scenario to see where guile would fit. Thanks.

For my future reference, how do you find those make options like
"schemelib_DATA"? I thought configure generates the makefile and look
for something like --without-doc etc.

Cheers,
