This simple patch looks correct to me, I will incorporate it as soon as I
have a chance to verify guile still builds OK with it on Un*x platforms.

In general, it is better to mail patches to the list incorporated in the body
of the message rather than as attachments. If they are too large for that
(this one definitely is not) it's preferrable to put them on an ftp or web
server and send a pointer.

Thanks for helping increase the number of platforms supported by Guile!
