guile wants to take ownership of the top-level exection context of the
process. i.e. in main() you have to launch/step into guile, then tell
guile to execute the "rest" of the application. this just felt all
wrong, and meant that any backtraces of the main thread ultimately
ended up back in the guile interpreter. i became suspicious about
other aspects of guile's "presence" in the process, but didn't bother
to investigate them all that much - we just dumped it for XML.
