Ooooh. Yes could use some work. Wanna check it out from CVS and hack
it up?

And for the rest of us as well: what cool ideas do we have that should
go on that list? Here are some ideas.

1. CPAN for guile. (content-based addressing, with the projects coming
from savannah. Perhaps relates to nix though?)

2. Native code compiler. I'll get to this, given time :)

3. A simple web server implementation, included in Guile itself.

(We really need to pull in guile-lib.)

4. A dynamic FFI. (Meaning one should be able to interface to C from
scheme without compiling an extension.)

More, more!
