Excellent.

This patch is okay.  But note that GUILE_VERSION is not expanded until
it is used in sh.  That is, GUILE_VERSION does NOT equal "1.8".  You
will not be able to make it equal "1.8" until it is interpreted by sh.
The way you're using it here is fine, though.

As for the command itself, it should probably be:

`${LOCALBASE}/bin/guile-config info guileversion | ${CUT} -f 1-2 -d .`

Are you in a position to be run-time testing these ports with the new
guile?  Once you're done with your work, do you want to be the guile
maintainer?
