Re: building g-wrap with guile installed in a nonstandard prefix

[gregory benison]

I have a hopefully more robust solution in my branch (namely in patch-7
and patch-8).  Basically, it heavily relies on Autoconf substitution to
produce an accurate `guile-test-env' script, and it uses Libtool's
`execute' mode rather than playing tricks with `$LDTL_LIBRARY_PATH'.

That solves the problem and 'make check' now works with guile in a non-standard prefix.  There is still an issue when the build tree is outside the source tree (as happens in 'make distcheck' or if you run 'mkdir build; cd build; ../configure').  I can get 'make check' to work in such cases by changing a couple of 'srcdir's to 'builddir's:
