That sounds perfectly reasonable.  Thanks for tracking that down.  In the 
longer term, maybe we can convince the guile folks to add another hook.  For 
the moment, I've noted that in the tutorial.

We need to set things up so that this stuff is easy to install.  An obvious 
approach is to autoconfiscate this thing, so that the libraries are installed 
system-wide, as well as sweeten, unsweeten, and whatever else.  We probably 
need an uncurly and unneoteric as well.  At that point, people who don't use 
guile can still use the tools, treat the "un*" programs as compilers, and use 
make (or similar).  Where we can make it more automatic (e.g., auto-load 
".sscm") we should strive to do so.  (If you have an autotools allergy, let me 
know, but they're the obvious way to do this.)
