Does that mean you have your own special build of make, or hinting at guile as 
the new direction of make?

I have heard of guile, but I have no idea what it does.  I don't really get the 
big picture from a brief look at it.  How will guile change make?  Will it 
allow you to write scripts calling its C functions without having to recompile, 
or something different?
