Note that if you are using distributed guile, then you can't work with
slib 3a2 at all, because guile's slib.scm is so out-of-date.

This is why nobody saw this: guile users outside Debian are not using
slib 3a2 much at all.

The patch is to replace slib:load, in guile.init, with the following
version (the old version from slib.scm):

(define (slib:load name)
  (save-module-excursion
   (lambda ()
     (set-current-module slib-module)
     (let ((errinfo (catch 'system-error
			   (lambda ()
			     (load-from-path name)
			     #f)
			   (lambda args args))))
       (if (and errinfo
		(catch 'system-error
		       (lambda ()
			 (load-from-path
			  (string-append name ".scm"))
			 #f)
		       (lambda args args)))
	   (apply throw errinfo))))))
