It's workable, I suppose, but you don't need the session manager to
make it work.

To get the server to run only on demand you'd have to write some kind
of launcher daemon that would handle this.  The session manager
doesn't currently handle this, and I don't really think it should.

I suppose a "Guile daemon" could be a CORBA service.  Then making it
run on demand would happen through the BOA.


FWIW I think time would be better spent making Guile start faster.
But obviously opinions on this vary.
