I meant that when a guile-using package does 'make install', it can
hook itself into the already-installed guile. Guile can and certainly
should create config.scm in the build tree before install. Then,
regardless of whether a binary package of some sort is tarred up from
there, or it's installed first and then tarred up (pkgsrc) won't matter.
