Hm, as Greg (I think) notes, pull-packages doesn't do the right
thing. Hmm. Anyway, the fixes all look great. I guess we need to figure

Sure. I do have one pending commit there. Let me see about getting
guile-cairo on savannah. Perhaps it should be a GNU project?

True, true.

native FFI in 1.9, but that's another project.

Thanks for the excellent hack, good sir!
