Ok, that explains it.  It was working for me because it was actually
finding the 1.8.12 version of gnucash-run-script in the path!  Oops.

This test is just obsolete, or at least pretty close to it.  We don't
want to depend on finding 'guile' in the path and we don't need to
test the ability to find and run guile.  We don't use it.  I don't
think we even use gnucash-run-script.

If any of this isn't true today, I think it will be one day soon.
