I realize this statement is not 100% accurate. Debian Lenny still builds
GnuCash with guile 1.6.8. I have no way to test if our own srfi's are pulled
on that platform. I assume not, since 1.6.8 is also the guile version on
Windows.
In any case, I still think the srfi's can be removed, because guile 1.8.x is
also readily available on lenny. So if guile 1.6 would cause any issues the
lenny packager could simply choose to build the gnucash 2.3+ against 1.8.
