i agree, (also takes over tasks like unit tests, integration tests, reports,
site, documentation)
so let me rephrase it.
is there a software project management and comprehension tool for guile?
for instance, Apache Maven is a software project management and
comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM),
Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a
central piece of information.
