After doing this, I can confirm that things work on Solaris (SunOS 5.7);
the "ldd" commands shows what libraries a binary will use, same as on
Linux.

Great! For this sort of testing, it turns out that checking this is
essential for verifying that you've set up GUILE_LOAD_PATH correctly.
Belive it or not, things seem to work fairly well with a mix of latest-CVS
