With that I don't have to modify the guile-config output.  In other 
words by default I might just get "-L/my/guile/path/lib" where I may 
actually want "-L/my/guile/path/lib -Wl,-R/my/guile/path/lib".

Anyway, I figured this one was questionable for general consumption 
which is why I kept it apart from the others.
