Re: [??] can't get scripts to work!

Thanks very much for your help.  build-guile seems to work nicely
now. :-)

I wonder why I haven't been bitten by this before?  I guess I can't
have been using many guile script up to now.

Guile Developers, shouldn't "configure" auto detect this, so that
"build-guile" is  set up appropriately?

I have a couple of questions about that.  Since they are probably
obvious to most people here, if you have time you may prefer to answer 
them privately.

Why ${1+"$@"}?  Is "$@" not good enough?

Why is the "exit 1" necessary?
