Again, I was not saying that Guile should provide a mechanism to load
shared objects from the right directory: we have identified this as
another, *separate* issue.  I'm just saying that libraries and Scheme
files are two different things and that the user needs to be able to
choose where to install them, just like they can do for any other GNU
package.

Thanks,
