i proposed this very same thing (extending initial %load-path to include
$(libdir)/guile) and included a patch on bug-guile, but alas, discussion
proved that people don't easily distinguish guile binary module calling
conventions from random .so files and, didn't see a need to maintain the
abstraction layer.

this is the second time i've back-referenced this issue; not really sure
how to go about this constructively any more.
