Hi all,
   I'm working on guile 1.8 spell and it break 
compatibility with 1.6 (some 'module' which works with
1.6 doesn't works with 1.8). So I think the best way to 
spellify this is:

                                                            START
         0) test if guile 1.6 is installed (if not go on
            with 1.8 installation)                          END
         1) if 1.6 is installed check if other modules are
            installed. 
         1.a) If not go on with 1.8 installation            END
         1.b) If yes check for module versions compatible 
              with 1.8 (obviusly other guile depentens 
              spells should be modified).
         2.a) If all are compatible go on with upgrade      END
         2.b) If not, ask the user what to do
         3.a) user choose to go on wiht guile 1.8 
              installation                                  END
         3.b) user choose to do nothing                     END
             
Guile modules should check for required guile versions
(and try if possible to prefer 1.8)

Suggestions are welcomed :)

thanks,
