[Bug 339618] [NEW] Update libctl to use guile-1.8

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This is a direct crossposting of my Debian bug, since I'm trying to get
this fixed for the MIT Athena computing cluster infrastructure which is
going to be using Jaunty.

libctl is currently the only library that uses guile 1.6 instead of 1.8.
I'd appreciate it if that dependency could be upgraded.

My specific use case is that we would like to have both libctl-dev and
libgeda-dev installed in the MIT Athena computing environment, but can't
because they depend on different versions of guile-dev, which conflict
with each other.

Included is a debdiff for libctl. The two packages that rdepend on
libctl (meep and mpb) will have to be rebuilt against the new library
(and mpb needs a small tweak to debian/control as well), so I've
included debdiffs to update those as well.

I've tested that the packages build, install, and run with my patches,
but since I'm not really familiar with the software, I don't really know
how to test the builds past starting up the programs.
