blindly point all the packages which currently use guile to
lang/guile16 and bump their PKGREVISIONS.    3)  update
lang/guile to 1.8.1.    lang/guile where possible.  That sounds
fine, and thanks for doing this.  I believe that executing your
plan and the pending removal of guile14 once all
guile14-depending packages have been updated to at least guile16
are entirely separate issues and that there's no need to combine
them.  (You didn't say that, but it came to mind.)  The
difficulty that we'll encounter in your plan is that there are
packages like guile-slib, guile-gtk, g-wrap, and maybe guile-lib
that can be built with either 1.6 or 1.8 and some packages will
depend on them.  In an ideal world with infinite resources we'd
have a way like python does to build for various guile versions
and have named packages guile14-slib, guile16-slib, and
guile18-slib.  But this is a lot of
