Hi,

It would be nice if guile/libguile would have/support dynamic
relocation based on the location of the executable (be it guile or
lilypond).

For installations on Windows and autopackage installations on Linux,
the install prefix is determined at install time.  On Linux, this can
be fixed with wrappers (not very elegant), but on Windows (read: lots
of flavours, lots of different problems) that can hardly be done, if
at all.

Below is an attempt that works, but I'm not sure about the api nor the
implementation.  What do you think?

Jan.
