/etc/guile/* is pleasing, since in my experience the fundamental
problem has been installing guile with one prefix, and a guile module
with another. The user is expected to do
(use-modules (foo bar))
but not to have to mess with %load-path.
My own preference would lean toward having a clean, pkg-friendly way,
to drop a file in /etc/guile/ that would make e.g. the guile in
/usr/pkg be able to load modules installed in /usr/y0, by extending
%load-path.
This should be a file that perhaps gets called by convention
load-usr-y0.scm, or some such, so that a package that installs to a
different prefix can run some guile code (as root) to install the file
if it isn't there, something that feels like
guile-admin --persistent-load-prefix-path-add /usr/y0
