I'm somewhat tempted to try it in HEAD, and then get as many people as
possible to attempt a build/install. If it works on a bunch of
platforms, and if we can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work
in general, this might be a way to have one approach that works
everywhere.

To me, it seems like the -L/usr/lib/guile/VERSION solution would allow
the same result, but without the library naming issues. You'd have:
/usr/lib/libguile.so.9*
/usr/lib/libguile.so.12*
/usr/lib/libguile.so.14*
/usr/lib/guile/1.4/libguile.so -> /usr/lib/libguile.so.9.0.1
/usr/lib/guile/1.6/libguile.so -> /usr/lib/libguile.so.12.0.4
/usr/lib/guile/1.8/libguile.so -> /usr/lib/libguile.so.14.0.2
Just to be sure I understand, is your objection to this primarily a
concern with it being an untested approach? I just want to make sure
we're on the same page.
Thanks
