Mostly ignore the above. My current aproach will make use of
autofrisk, but not break it out or change it. However, I'm not even
sure it will work as in Guile 1.7, as guile-tools read-scheme-source
is broken (omits forms under some conditions). So any work to patch
autofrisk and the related tools like read-scheme-source is highly
appreciated and will happily be merged into the ttn-features branch of
my unofficial archive.

Cheers, Andy
