:-( 

Is this a temporary hack, or a permanenet restriction?

I've been trying to keep guile out of the engine, for obvious reasons,
and so I'm less than happy to see it sneak in there.  The obvious
problem is that to get the perl bindings to the engine, I would first
have to build the perl bindings to guile... yuck.  This presumably
undermines the Java bindings as well...
