gnu-build-system has been incorporated into the release tarball.  Just
the errata known so far.  I really appreciate your handling the macports
stuff if that works for you.  But I do think the gcl repository should
be kept up to date with the latest working macports packaging info for
the day you may wish to retire.

Given the magnitude of the changes, I was thinking of a period where
both systems could coexist for a while until it is clear that 2.7 is
better in every respect, after which resorting to one package named gcl
would be in order.  Do you think a 2.6.15 release is needed or
desirable?  Is it a distraction?

Take care,
