They don't have to be coordinated.  We may want, from time to time, to
move commonly used code e.g., from Guile-Lib, into Guile core, but we're
not going to have all possible Guile bindings into Guile core.

For pure Scheme applications or modules, there's little overhead.  You
can use Autoconf + Automake (I use it because I find it helpful and
consistent with other free software packages), but you don't have to.
You can as well just distribute and bunch of suitably laid out Scheme
files along with a `README' explaining how to use them.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
