Just a note: maybe you already know, but you can simply `make install'
from the port directory and it'll use pkg_add to install the package for
you.

What lang/guile does to be compatible with lang/guile2 is
rm -rf ${PREFIX}/info
so maybe we should do the same on lang/guile2 and provide info only for
guile3? Don't know. (side note: I've seen a package for guile3 in the AUR
repository which installs the info page in ${PREFIX}/info/guile3/. That
could be an option but would break info, I don't particularly like it)
In the meantime, here's an improved tarball. I've updated to 3.0.5 and
cleaned a bit the Makefile and also tried to run the tests: don't know
how the situation is on guile/guile2, but I've got 2 of 38 tests failed
and 1 not run.
