There don't seem to be many guides how to do the upgrade 1.8 -> 2.0, 
the only thing I found was the 1990 first lines of:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=blob;f=NEWS;h=b53386a0bcfa3e67acf5f63e501ccf84c8242557;hb=958a28e9fec33ebb4673294308a82ccd18cc6071

and the problems reported by:

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=2&q=guile+2.0&colspec=ID+Type+Status+Stars+Owner+Patch+Needs+Summary&cells=tiles

from which I get the picture that 1.8 and 2.0 is basically the "same" 
but 2.0 have a stricter adherence to R5RS and it also have a byte
compiler which makes lazy binding troublesome.

Peter Brett has a guide how to work with mult. guile versions:
