That's correct.

Don't give users a way to shoot themselves in the foot unless there is a 
very good reason to do so.  Besides that, Guile 2.0 and 2.2 development 
files aren't usually installed next to each other (Guile doesn't handle 
this kind of situation well).


I pushed a patch to the branch `stable-1.10' which allows compiling 
gEDA/gaf with either version of Guile:

   http://git.geda-project.org/geda-gaf/commit/?h=stable-1.10&id=288cb8fd

Please use this instead of the provisional patch I posted earlier.
