Jan just announced a release of an current version of the package with
this problem.  If we are going to be fixing something in the "old"
version, I'd like it not to pollute /usr/bin.

Or, at least it would be nice to see *some* effort -- even a grep of
"dlopen" would have been nice.

But, then, I don't understand why guile-1.7.2 has been in a test state
since May either.  Maybe I just need to be reassured that 1.6.7 is
going away real soon now.

I dread doing this but I guess it's time for me to do a 'ls /usr/bin'
and see just how much people are abusing things by putting inappropriate
things in that directory.
