I could try it. It'll take me a few weeks to geto to it, though.

They could definitly use a better ordering: sxml and sxml-match
should be together.
Second-level sections might help, but they might feel excessive.

Much of Slib still works. It does use some removed functions.
The installation has problems. Its makefile installs slib into
a directory that Guile doesn't search, and the makefile needs to be
modified to run at all if Jaffer's "scm" is not installed.
I ended up writing my own autotools wrapper for slib to get it to
install.
Thanks,
