Fair point.  For external dependencies, it might be good to list them in both 
places to ensure people see them.  Duplication can be annoying, but it 
shouldn't be a long list requiring constant maintenance, and we want to make 
sure people know about key dependencies.

I don't normally use Debian, so I jumped to the Debian package list for Lisp:
  http://packages.debian.org/stable/lisp/
and saw references to these packages that claim to include it:
 guile-1.6-dev
 guile-1.8-dev

Google says that there have been bugs in the past:
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=183977

Something else to put in the docs, once we're sure what the ANSWER is :-).  
Please let us know if that works for you; I'd rather put confirmed-correct info 
in.

Uh, sure, it's "deliberate", give me a moment to come up with some plausible 
rationale....

Hmmm, no excuse comes to mind :-).

It's a bug, of course.  Drat. It wasn't in "make check" so it went uncaught.  
Granted, it's not in key command, but it is annoying.

I wonder if we should include at least some of the examples in "make check".  
Thoughts?
