   Nice that it can detect such things and adapt!

that's the theory, anyway.

   However, the `s/make-shared-substring/substring/' occurs only at
   module-installation time, which precludes one from running the examples
   from within the source directory.

good point.  i hadn't thought of that.

   Also, while `id.cgi' DTRT (except for `make-shared-substring') so
   that it can be run from within the source directory, `you-are-here'
   just makes plain `use-modules' that are bound to fail when invoked
   from within the source directory.

true.

   Maybe all the modules could be moved to a `www' subdir, and then
   examples could be generated from `.in' files at configure-time that
   start with something like:

     ${GUILE-guile} -L @top_srcdir@ ...

   This way, `(use-modules (www ...))' would work fine.

   What do you think?

i think the approach (or something like it) is sound.  certainly making
the modules and examples usable pre-install is a worthy goal.  thanks
for the suggestion.
