I'd prefer to use guile.m4, even though it uses guile-config.  It insists.
Unfortunately, it does not work.  For me.

Here's the configure script fragment with the reference:

Since this guile.m4 comes from Guile 2.0.4, it is recent enough that any
fully supported AC_* macro should not have been removed from autoconf 2.69.
If I delete the GUILE_FLAGS invocation, then all is fine.

*sigh*.
