On a Debian system, we'd just use update-alternatives so that the
sysadmin can choose which script they want.
However, to accomodate other systems, I'd say that as a default we
might just want to put these scripts in <libexec>/guile/ (or
whatever), and add a note to the readme about making symlinks to
/usr/bin or augmenting your path as desired...
