   What's the rationale for ditching Guile?  I'm not arguing against  
it, I'm just curious.  I've used Guile as an embedded scripting  
language in a project of my own and didn't have any trouble with it.   
Some releases are a pain to build on non-Linux platforms, but other  
than that my results were positive.

   I will have to take a peek at TinyScheme.

   Now THAT will be neat.
