I believe SLIB's preference is for Guile users to load guile.init.

I think your assesment pretty much matches mine.

My current intention is to sit down when I have time and see if I can
figure out what changes, if any, we would have to make to the current
guile.init in order to be able to rely on it, rather than the code in
slib.scm.

Greg Troxel's suggestion may also be worth considering -- that we
might also provide an easy way to request execution of the older
slib.scm code.
