I have pulled the latest slib and I see the conditional include
of guile-2.init inside guile.init.

I have pulled the latest guile and though I have not yet checked
that commit, I have seen the latest code in slib.scm and it is

I will look and see if I can figure out how %load-path and
load-from-path and allied stuff works.
