Thanks for the patches!  I've started looking into this.  The
`srfi-14.c' and `posix.c' patches are no longer needed; the `guile.c'
patch has been in the pipeline for some time; the `configure.in' patch
appears to be required, despite the fact that Libtool is supposed to
honor the now-deprecated macros that we used; the `Makefile.am'
shouldn't be needed, at list not in HEAD from what I've seen.
