Guile extension installation

The Guile  extension library for  Dolda Connect requires  some special
attention when installing, because of  how Guile looks for modules. If
Dolda Connect  is installed into the  prefix /usr, there  should be no
problem  and  everything  should  work automatically.   However,  when
installing into any  other prefix, such as /usr/local,  Guile needs to
be  told to  look for  modules  there.  That  is done  by setting  the
environment  variable  GUILE_LOAD_PATH   to  include  the  directories
$PREFIX/share/guile and $PREFIX/share/guile/site.

Some versions  of Guile,  but not all,  are compiled against  a custom
dynamic linker  as well, which also  needs to be told  where to locate
the shared  libraries also required  for the Dolda Connect  module. If
this is the case for your version  of Guile, you will also need to set
the environment variable LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH to $PREFIX/lib.
