Quick question: Is there any reason you're duplicating the swig
wrapping from existing .i files? Can you not use the same interface
files for guile and python?

Yes, this is correct. You need to re-run autogen when you add a new
directory to the tree. Another thing to note is that when you add a
new optional directory you also need to add it to DIST_SUBDIRS
otherwise "make dist" (or distcheck) will fail if you configured the
to-be-disted tree without your optional directory enabled.
DIST_SUBDIRS completely overrides SUBDIRS so if you have DIST_SUBDIRS
then you need to include all the subdirs in it (optional or
otherwise).

Sure. But do you really need a branch, rather than working in trunk?
Do you really expect that you'll be breaking the existing code while
you work on the bindings?
