g-wrap just provides a pkg-config file that includes --libs --cflags
required to compile and link against guile and other stuff.

Running pkg-config like this:

pkg-config --cflags --libs g-wrap-2.0-guile

-std=gnu99  -lgwrap-guile-runtime -lgwrap-core-runtime -lguile -lgmp
-lcrypt -lm -lltdl -lffi  


of the above all we really need is -lguile. I could change Makefile.am
to look like this:

#PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GWRAP, g-wrap-2.0-guile >= 1.9)
#CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $GWRAP_CFLAGS"
#LIBS="$LIBS $GWRAP_LIBS"
LIBS="$LIBS -lguile"

This will not check to see if guile is present or what directory the
headers or libs are. It configure and make should succeed if guile is
installed. If it is not installed configure will succeed and make will
fail. I hoped that ./configure would fail if guile was not installed. I
don't think there is anything we can do unless there is pkg-config file
for all disto's. Any suggestions?
