Unfortunately, it looks like the changes for these do not have copyright assigned to the FSF, so we can't use them directly. Is that correct? Partially (details below). Also, I hope this isn't a sensitive topic, but why is there a semi-friendly fork of Guile 1.4? Are there things that you want to accomplish that Guile 2.0 can't do? Or maybe you want complete compatibility with Guile 1.4 - even so, why fork? It's not sensitive, but it's not a short answer, either... [maudlin recollections snipped -- i will publish these separately.] The short answer is that the fork (from 2001 or so) was a reaction to losing repo write privs. Now that i have regained them, i am interested in merging back the relevant bits, w/ copyright notice modified to the proper FSF standards. Details up to you... I see from another post you have decided to rewrite, due to my delayed response. Sorry about that. I anticipate my ability to keep up in the foreseeable future to be likewise limited, so if you're still interested, please let me know what i must do to get these bits in-tree and useful to you (and others) as a basis for further maintenance (kind of a one-shot mass-transfer). Thanks for taking care of 1.8, btw -- i am sure i'm not alone in appreciating this work.
