I have two versions of Guile installed: 1.4 in /usr and 1.7 in
/usr/local.  If I leave LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH undefined, version 1.4 works
flawlessly with libreadline but version 1.7 crashes hard.  If I define
LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib version 1.7 works flawlessly with
libreadline but version 1.4 crashes hard.

In either case, one guile does not work.  This is unacceptable for me.

This would indeed do the trick.
