Actually, the `configure.in' patch to use `LT_INIT' wasn't even needed,
so the only changes were:

  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=commit;h=664d1f5eb211d0ffd65f227e65d1fc02ef1bc8c0

This has the nice property that both 1.5.x and 2.2.x will work.  The
1.8.6 release will come with 2.2.x, though, which will make people's
lives easier.

BTW, 2.2.x is faster, which is nice!

Thanks,
Ludo'.
