   This means I'm not the only one who feel like this hardcoded path is
   not a good solution.

you may be able to get guile 1.4.x[1] to do what you want.  all the
compiled modules (shared object libraries following a certain loading
convention) of Guile-SDL and Guile-PG, for example, are not installed
under /usr/local/lib.

those packages use "module catalogs", which is another (IMHO superior)
resolution mechanism, but anyway guile 1.4.x provides `%%ltdl' to expose
low level (prefix-path-munging) mechanisms from libltdl, should you
prefer that kind of control.

(hmmm, i just checked to see if there are online docs for `%%ltdl', but
there aren't (yet), so i will write some shortly and post a link in
another message -- in the meantime, you can look at the source file
guile-1.4.1.106/libguile/lt.c for ideas.)
