You proposed a single M4 macro, `GUILE_SCHEME_DIR', which would provide
the user with the ability to customize only *one* installation
directory: the one were Scheme files will go. In your scheme (as I
understand it), the other directories (the one for shared objects in
particular) are *imposed*: the user cannot change them.
What I'm saying in (1) is that the user should be able to choose these
two (or three) directories at installation time.
Thanks,
Ludovic.
