Hi Mark, FWIW, these patches look great to me; I just have two minor comments, inline below. It's great to have someone looking at the manual material with such a careful eye for detail.
Just one meta-thing that occurred to me: can we all agree on a value for fill-column, so as to avoid spurious M-q diffs? And, if we can agree on that, is there a neat way of helping people to use it? - some kind of local variables setup, I suppose.

You inserted a comma here before "@var{symbol})}, and in that case". I agree that a comma was needed, but would have put it as "@var{symbol})} and, in that case, the ...". What do you think? > +@table @env > +@item GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE > +@vindex GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE > +This is a flag that can be used to tell Guile whether or not to compile > +Scheme source files automatically.

I think that expression could be deleted now. Regards, Neil
