Yes, I am doing that here

    +(defcustom compilation-guile-get-load-path-command "guile -c '(write %load-path)'"
    +  "Guile command to print %load-path to stdout."
    +  :type 'string
    +  :group 'compilation
    +  :version "24.3.2")

but have turned it off by default...  Possibly just always do this?

Thanks for your comments!  I'm working on a patch right now for Guile to
use GNU standard error/info messages as per Stefan's suggestion.

Greetings, Jan
