Hey all,

I was wondering. Should applications install their guile modules into
the global directory (${prefix}/share/guile/site)? Right now I'm
installing them to ${prefix}/share/${myprog}, which means I have to hack
on a myprog.in file, then have sed magic to "link" the app to the right
load path. It works pretty good, but I see that python apps normally
install to the global path.

Thoughts? Does it matter?

FWIW, I prefer ${prefix}/share/${myprog}.  If I were to install a
program from source instead of from a package and wanted to delete it
later, I would remember to look in _share_ for files to erase.  I
wouldn't remember to look in _site_.
