installing guile

["Charles D. Russell" <worwor at bellsouth dot net>]

  After installing the cygwin guile package, attempting to run guile 
leads to the message that it cannot find "guile.init".  I find no 
reference to "guile.init" in either info guile nor in the cygwin guile 
README.

 I had previously gotten a working guile by installing cygwin guile on 
top of a previous SCM that I had built, with some trouble, from source.  
I decided to delete that and simply install from setup, for a clean 
default installation that could be maintained automatically by cygwin 
setup.exe. However, the current package does not even seem to install 
the prerequisite SLIB. I am spoiled by six years of having cygwin 
setup.exe install and configure my software so that it is simply 
plug-and-play. 

 I can understand that for less popular packages it may be impractical 
to fully automate installation and configuration through setup.exe, but 
in such cases it would be very handy to have a set of cookbook 
directions in the accompanying README or, better yet, in a separate INSTALL.
