Aren't the names a bit misleading, then?  The .la files are supposed to be
libtool library files, i.e., plain text.  If they are dlopened, they
should be named .dll, right?  Or am I missing something?

It's ok to keep dlls in one directory (or even package), and import libs
(.la) in another (as long as the .la files reflect this fact).  In fact,
since there's a guile-devel package, shouldn't the libtool import libs
belong there?
