Slib 3a4 now includes in the guile.init file the /usr/lib/slib
directory name, which it uses in preference to slib's own idea of
where it belongs.  I know nothing about windows, but I do know that
for the Debian package for slib 3a4 it was necessary to make the
following changes to the upstream slib source, because we install slib
into /usr/share/slib:

  * guile.init (library-vicinity): Set default location of slib to
    /usr/share/slib instead of /usr/lib/slib.
  * RScheme.init (library-vicinity): Likewise.
