[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

I think I have made my point for the second commit. I intend this
change to be user-centric: it would be better to confuse the developer
of a guile program than the user of said program. Anyway, this will not
confuse anyone because creating the directory is not the default
behavior.

As for the first commit:

Exactly, it does not pass the test, because I still can't run them.
That's one of my open questions (the other being: in which file do I
write the code, I feel the ports module is not the best place). How do
you run the tests? When I run "make check", I get 1 of 39 tests failed,
the test-out-of-memory test. It does not even try to run the ports
test.

So until I can check it, my work can only be understood as "work in
progress".

Best regards,

divoplade
