Summary:  path to guile in Greg configure script

Original Submission:  the configure script in dev-libs/guile/Greg has a bug in 
it,



where it calls 



AC_PROG_PATH(GUILEPATH,guile,NONE,$PATH:$with_guile_path)



this generated some code in the configure script to do



for as_dir in $PATH:$with_guile_path

do

....



what happens there is :$with_guile_path gets appended to the last part of the 
path in $PATH and it'll look for a directory like /last/path: without 
--with-guile-path passed or /last/path:/guile/path with



either way if guile path is passed onto the command line or only exists in the 
last directory in the path it returns NONE... 



additionally the error says configure with --with-guile-path set to the correct 
path (e.g. configure --with-guile-path=/usr/bin/guile)



this should probably change to --with-guile-path=/usr/bin 



regenerating the configure script here fixed the issue using autoconf 2.57 
generating some correct code like..



as_dummy="$PATH:$with_guile_path"

for as_dir in $as_dummy

do

...
