   not really related, but: it would be nice to have some way to check
   the installation, too.

   perhaps by having a script that runs the test suite with the installed
   guile, or something like that.  there wouldn't be any need to install
   the script itself, of course.

yeah, check-guile handles this with the "-i INTERPRETER" switch, so that
you can check any guile against the (current build-dir) test-suite.  i
just posted a bugfixed version....  try something like:

make
make check
make install
./check-guile -i PREFIX/bin/guile

the auto* tools don't (yet?) support a post-install step, although we
could suggest the above simple check in the INSTALL file for people to
do manually (or add a makefile rule that does it so that people can do
"make post-install-check").
