Perhaps a "guile script" is the right term?

This might be nice, for convenience.  Or perhaps an env. variable
GNC_RUN_GDB which, when set, would run gdb guile instead of just
guile.

Also, hopefully it specifies the full path to guile as determineda
configure-time?

I'm not convinced of this -- it isn't really a .scm file; it really is
a shell script that runs guile with scheme code.  A .scm file would,
IMHO, signify a file that you could (load) into guile, which this
doesn't sound like it would be.
