Since 1.8 had never supported SLIB, at least they wouldn't have been
backward incompatible changes (within a stable release series), but I
was also just investigating. I didn't even get to the point where I
had a clear idea about how the changes might look.

I'm not sure the above fix will be sufficient, but if it is, that's
fine. If I recall correctly, the original problem was that 1.8 had
changed in ways that caused problems with SLIB. So I started going
through guile.init to see what it was doing.
It could be that the upstream guile.init is now sufficient, but I
suspect that it may still need some changes.
Thanks
