ly-syntax-constructors.cc looks like it should still be re-written to use  
(define-syntax) and (syntax-rules).  However, fixing the problem line
(define define-ly-syntax define-public)
using
(define-syntax define-ly-syntax (syntax-rules ()
((_ (args ...) (define-public args ... ))) works with Guile V1.9 but not  
when interpreted using Guile V.1.8.7 having declared (use-modules (ice-9  
syncase)).

Although getting the declarations in this file to use (define-syntax so it  
could be used by a module declaration is a neat idea, we need to solve the  
problem of the things barring lily initialization first.  Patrick has  
produced a prototype to solve the error generated running with V1.9.  I  
will use this tracker for this issue and am changing the title accordingly.
