I have a hopefully more robust solution in my branch (namely in patch-7
and patch-8).  Basically, it heavily relies on Autoconf substitution to
produce an accurate `guile-test-env' script, and it uses Libtool's
`execute' mode rather than playing tricks with `$LDTL_LIBRARY_PATH'.

You may want to give it a try and report back.

Thanks!
Ludovic.
