 * That would be the wrong thing. ILU builds fine without guile/python. A
 * binary package built with support for them still works fine for C and
 * C++ on a system without guile and python. 

What I'm saying is that, if the configure scripts detects those and
builds a binary that requires guile/python/whatever, those should
either be put in *_DEPENDS or explicitly disabled before configure is
run.  Otherwise we'll ship an inconsistent package.

 * I disabled guile in configure options and added a note for those with
 * 1.2 installed. I left python support because the python port is for a
 * version that works.

That's fine for guile, but for python, please refer to my paragraph
above.  If a binary built on a system with python can run on a system
without python, that's fine; otherwise, we need to do something about
it.
