I think the only interesting variable to use with re-prefix-info is
pkgdatadir.  pkgincludedir is not used (only for gh_) and there is no
reason why a Guile client should install something there anyway.
Likewise for pkglibdir.

I think it is OK to hardcode pgkdatadir as $(datadir)/guile.  We are
not going to change this as far as I can see.

So I see little utility in providing re-prefix-info and
GUILE_SITE_DIR.

Or?
