Ah yeah, seems to work without it...!

Cool, done.  For (inputs ...) anyway... the above native-inputs did
still seem needed, presumably because we *are* running the bootstrap
code in this case.

It's true, but more accurately, it will be true in the next version,
since guile-goblins v0.8 doesn't have finished networking support.
But yes, that's coming, so I put this comment above the description:

    ;; In guile-goblins 0.9, OCapN support will be added (it already
    ;; exists in racket-goblins).  At that point we should add the
    ;; following to this description:
    ;;
    ;;   Goblins allows for cooperation between networked programs
    ;;   in a mutually suspicious network through OCapN, the Object
    ;;   Capability Network.  This includes collaboration across
    ;;   runtimes; for instance, programs written in the Guile and Racket
    ;;   versions of Goblins are able to speak to each other.

And we can do that then.  As said in the other email, I don't think this
is far away.

Thanks to both Maxime and Ludo' for reviewing!  I pushed it upstream.
Happy hacking with guile-goblins... if someone does anything with it,
let me know.  The next release will be the first big guile-goblins
release to celebrate, but was eager to get what we have up there. :)

Finally! ;)

It's a pretty small change, just adding a leaf package, but I figured
since it's adding a package I maintain the project of, best to get
review.
