Hmm.  Yea, I goofed on env.sh.  This seems to work for me:

#!/bin/sh
# source this file: $ . env.sh
topdir=`(cd ../../../..; pwd)`
if [ "X$GUILE_LOAD_PATH" = "X" ]; then
 GUILE_LOAD_PATH=$topdir/module:$topdir/examples:$topdir/examples/nyacc/lang/c99
else
 
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=$topdir/module:$topdir/examples:$topdir/examples/nyacc/lang/c99:$GUILE_LOAD_PATH
fi;
export GUILE_LOAD_PATH

mwette$ guild compile-ffi cairo/cairo.ffi
