My short term solution is to not use the newest guile snap-shot.

I was really wondering about the longer term plan.  I'd guess the
right solution to have a libguile-free that implements all of the
nifty GPLed stuff.  I'm wondering if it's hours away, or is planned
"someday".  I gather the answer is someday.

It sounds like the medium term solution is to start building a 
libguile-free.  The first person to get one working can put it on the
web.  Sounds like I have a new way to spend my weekend.

Hopefully, the guile with readline will be part of the next guile
1.3.x release.  It's a PR thing.  It's going to look bad if the users
view of the guile command line interface takes a noticable step
backwards.
