I think the deal was that it used to be generated, and in the root. But
I changed it to be not generated, and in the meta/. But this error was
coming from Scheme; perhaps there was a issue with load path issue
whereby guile-tools was loaded from a path and not absolutely?

There might be a deeper bug lurking here. I can't think through it right
now though.
