It misses the very first line.  :-)

Two things: output names are lowercase by convention, and the
(unofficial) convention for the GUI output is “gui”.

Does it make sense to separate the two GUI outputs?  It seems better to
me to keep just one “gui” output with both OpenGL and non-OpenGL
thingies.  WDYT?

Rather #:tests? #f with a comment explaining why.

Could you send one last revision?

Thanks!
