Ah, that's very cool! I actually meant support for installing the program without even dorodango installed - using only what comes with it. But I imagine you could create some sort of bundle with the 'doro install' code plus the app bundle. Eventually you'd want cross-platform bundling support too, but that gets more difficult. I imagine that software like LilyPond or GnuCash would be interested in a convenient way to use new Guile modules. > Support for this has to be present in the conception of the > package/bundle format, so indeed it's important that taking this feature > into account from the beginning. I'm glad you've been thinking it through, then. Noah
