Yes that seems to be the best choice.  (Although I was hoping that we
could find an argument that let's us use the nicer "libguile" for the
'best' library.)  We would also need to add an option to guile-config,
no?

Anyway, I'm sure we can find a good solution that doesn't turn
libguile into a trap for people that want the exception.

Yes, agreed.  Good point.
