Yes, it somewhat new. Here is the code of it
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/build-system/guile.scm

AFAIU it must be done in a specific step. Look at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/guile-xyz.scm
for instance guile-pfds as a step that does rename files from .sls to .scm
before building.

Computing is most of the time coding on top of existing infrastructure.
autotools is no different. It has its quirks,
but it works.

[0] I can setup a repository using autotools for bindings and pure guile
modules
