This makes this possible:

#!/bin/sh
"exec" "gst" "-f" "$0" "$@"

Which seems to be the best way to execute a Smalltalk script if you
don't want to hardcode the path, due to the following.

According to the Guile documentation, some Unix systems only allow one
argument on the #! line, making the above equivalent to /usr/bin/env
"gst -f" <file>.  See above for an alternative.  I am not sure that
matters, of course, as I don't know whether that includes any of the
platforms GCC supports.
