On systems where you run configure, configure should detect Guile and
build with it if it's available.  The typical "--with-guile",
"--without-guile" flags are provided.

On all other systems Guile is currently disabled (I've added the undef
of HAVE_GUILE to the various pre-built config.h versions).

I'm not really sure how to get it enabled on other systems, short of
editing those config.h files by hand and adding -lguile to the link
line.  That should be all you need but I don't have access to those
systems.  For anyone supporting the non-configure-based systems I'm open
to any suggestions about the best way to handle it there.
