Hi!

Currently on my System (Debian sid), Guile 1.8 does not support
SLIB. I have done a preliminary patch (attached) that makes the module
(ice-9 slib) load the guile.init file from SLIB, which seems to work
fine AFAICS.

Currently, the patch hard-codes the location of the guile.init file,
(which would be suitable for Debian use, but not for upstream); I had
the intention to improve this (using a path figured out by
configure.ac), if this is the right way to do this; another option
would be placing the contents of guile.init in the (ice-9 slib)
module. So which is the way forward? I'll prepare patches for Guile
upstream once I know what the right approach to this problem is...
