Maybe a GUILE_RUN([scheme-block], [if-ok], [if-failed]) macro?

You might actually want to rename the macros to GUILE_AC_* instead, so
you take advantage of the Autoconf feature that will warn the developer
if the macro isn't expanded.

BTW, it has always irritated me that LIBS and LDFLAGS are mixed for
guile-config.  Any particular reason?
