Don't do this. If you would just *not mess* with the paths, and
untar lilypond and guile in /, it just works. If it doesn't

Because I *want* you to install guile, and install it in the proper
path, so that you can do some debugging, and we don't get so many
silly windows-related questions...

Thanks, fixed.
(btw, the tar ball is ok, it's just that `zip' sucks).
