It would be something of a hassle, yes. My main use for Guile is as a scripting 
workhorse. Wherever I go, I'd like Guile to go with me (inasmuch as my movement 
is restricted to vaguely unixoid systems) with a minimum of fuss. Depending on 
another external lib complicates that. Guile depends on qthreads as it is, but 
that is essentially resolved by bundling qthreads with Guile. Which is why I 
mentioned bundling GMP.
