Did you try it (ie. ./check-guile)?  I believe it uses
./pre-inst-guile, and that script sets the paths correctly to run
uninstalled.

A typical run to do one test is say "./check-guile elisp.test" from
the top-level.

Yep.  I've done that for my charting package, you can set
TESTS_ENVIRONMENT to "guile -s" or whatever for setups and so the test
files don't have to be executables.  It's automake-friendly, but you
miss out on the aggregated success/fail counts that the current setup
gives.
