Let me try to explain. (This is the new > workbook/modules/modules-and-shared-libs.text.) > I'm OK with the new policy not to have *.so loaded automatically. However, I have a suggestion: If the lib is only to be used by the .scm module (using load-extension), I see no point in putting it in ${libdir}. Instead it would be cleaner to be able to put it somewhere in ${libdir}/guile to avoid namespace cluttering in ${libdir} (which is, for example, (likely to be) indexed by the runtime linker on linux).
