Somehow I missed the e-mail when it came in.  Sorry about that.

Yeah, by default it does get installed in a place not in the
Guile path.  Unfortunately this is a side-effect of following
the Gnu coding standards.  If I don't do this, I can't get
'make distcheck' to pass.

I did add an option in the configure script '--with-guilesitedir'
that lets you choose where you want the scripts to be installed.
Also, if you run configure without --with-guilesitedir, at some
point it prints out a warning and gives a suggestion as to 
where you might install them.

Other GNU guile packages do this kluge as well, like guile-rpc.

Thanks,

Mike Gran
