Well, it should contain all the "important parts", but should be modified to work appropriately for guile, whatever that means. It looks to me like in the past, guile may have been modifying guile.init to produce ice-9/slib.scm. However, without knowing more of the history, I can't say for sure. My guess is that some of the modifications have had to do with making sure slib functions as a proper guile module. > Version 3a2 has added the function "with-load-pathname" and it isn't > in the slib.scm file that the guile packages provide. > > It seems to me that: > > 1) slib.scm should not be in guile-1.6-libs and libguile9. > 2) slib.scm should be in guile1.4-slib and guile-1.6-slib.

Can you elaborate on what you have in mind here?
