allow building against uninstalled guile; move some things to meta/

* README: Add more info about building against an uninstalled Guile.

* meta/: New directory. The proximate cause of its creation is that I
  want to be able to build external packages against uninstalled Guile,
  and to do that I need guile-tools in the PATH, but I don't want
  $top_builddir/libtool in the path. But it seems like a good
  reorganization, for things that are /about/ Guile: pkg-config files, m4
  files, guile-config... then we also include uninstalled info: the
  environment, the pre-inst-guile script, etc.

* meta/guile-1.8-uninstalled.pc.in: New pkg-config template. pkg-config
  prefers -uninstalled pkg-config files, if they are in its path.

* meta/Makefile.am:
* meta/ChangeLog-2008:
* meta/gdb-uninstalled-guile.in:
* meta/guile-1.8.pc.in:
* meta/guile-config.in:
* meta/guile.m4:
* meta/guile-tools.in: Moved to meta/.

* meta/guile.in: This is the new name of pre-inst-guile.in.

* meta/uninstalled-env.in: And this, pre-inst-guile-env.in.

@ -223,9 +223,23 @@ GUILE_FOR_BUILD variable, it defaults to just "guile".
Using Guile Without Installing It =========================================
The top directory of the Guile sources contains a script called
"pre-inst-guile" that can be used to run the Guile that has just been
built.
The "meta/" subdirectory of the Guile sources contains a script called
"guile" that can be used to run the Guile that has just been built. Note
that this is not the same "guile" as the one that is installed; this
"guile" is a wrapper script that sets up the environment appropriately,
then invokes the Guile binary.
You may also build against an uninstalled Guile build tree. The
"uninstalled-env" script in the "meta/" subdirectory will set up an
environment with a path including "meta/", a modified dynamic linker
path, a modified PKG_CONFIG_PATH, etc.
For example, you can enter this environment via invoking
meta/uninstalled-env bash
Within that shell, other packages should be able to build against
uninstalled Guile.
Installing SLIB ===========================================================
