    check-guile.in: exit 2 on errors and direct output to stderr
    
    Return 2 rather than 1 for errors so that 1 will be available for any
    future boolean tests (as with say grep).
    
    Direct error message to stderr rather than stdout.
    
    * check-guile.in: send error message to stderr and exit 2 (not 1).
