That's correct; I'll set the minimum requirement to Guile 2.0.10.  Thank 
you for your feedback!

I'm a bit unsure how to proceed about minimum required versions.  Since I 
don't have an easy way to test gEDA/gaf with older dependency versions, I 
don't notice if something breaks unless someone tells me.

One option would be requiring at least the versions shipped in Debian 
oldstable.  This is the oldest distribution on which I regularly build 
gEDA/gaf, and considering the overall conservativeness of Debian, these 
should be reasonable minimum versions to expect.  What do you think?
