`string-split' is implemented in Guile starting with the beta versions
in the 1.5.x series, as well as in current CVS.  You will need to
check for all features documented in the CVS manual whether they are
available in earlier versions of Guile or not.

If you need this procedure, try the following:

  (define (string-split s ch)
    (let ((index (string-index s ch)))
      (if index
          (cons (substring s 0 index)
                (string-split (substring s (+ index 1) (string-length s)) ch))
          (list s))))
