The "make describe" outputs "/usr/local/bin/guile-config: not found" on
stderr as you might expect and the exit code is 0. Since "make index"
pipes stdout to the INDEX file everything should work fine, just some
uglyness on the user's screen. If it's really important I can try 2>
/dev/null in the command or maybe a test -f to see if the file exists
first.
