configure.ac in actual version just looks for a guile-2 installation.

Last activity on the sourceforge code base was back in 2019.

I just sent a mail to the developer to ask about the actual state.

Mail came back as undeliverable. Will do a second try.

Just to update this - I have also tried to contact the author via sourceforge (bounced - no account any more), and the personal email (no reply).

I guess this will not be resolved unless:
 - we locally patch it
 - it is forked and updated outside Gentoo
 - we remove it from portage as obsolete.

What do you think?

gwave also depends on GTK:2

    Revert "profiles: last rite sci-electronics/gwave."
    
    This reverts commit dc105a6efbb47cb7347cc6d00c83d32a570c9a7c.
    
    This breaks sci-electronics/geda-suite and sci-electronics/gspiceui - those
    need checking and somehow adapting if last-rites are to be continued.
