With the final piece being the C code:

   SCM proc = scm_c_eval_string ("eval-string-from-file");
   SCM str  = scm_from_locale_string (scheme_text);
   SCM file = scm_from_locale_string (file_name);
   SCM line = scm_from_int (line_no);
   SCM res  = scm_call_3 (proc, str, file, line);
   //  Let's forget columns -- we don't have scm_call_4.

Actually, I might as well create the port in C and invoke "eval-port" directly.
I could easily set the column number, too.  (If I were tracking it.)

I'll give this a spin and let you know if it works shortly
(a day or two).  Thank you.  (I still think adding it to libguile
would not hurt.)
