It would be nice if guile/libguile would have/support dynamic

Would configuring Guile with this option break executables linked
against libguile and installed with different prefixes? Or is there
something the application can do (aside from using the same prefix) to
find the Guile code?
Below is an attempt that works, but I'm not sure about the api nor the
implementation. What do you think?
I haven't reviewed it closely, but at first glance, you do seem to be
assuming that whoever runs configure doesn't use the --bindir (etc)
arguments, so that you know how to construct $bindir (etc) from a
single prefix string. That's all well and fine, and probably correct
99% of the time, but it might be good to add a check in the configure
script, and error out if one of the directory variables is set to
something other than what's expected.
