Thanks! I just took a quick look at how Xapian does bindings, and
they are using SWIG, which has Guile support [1], so that's probably a
shorter path to achieve your goals.
On the other hand, Schmutz might be a better fit for project that
whant to avoid code generation (like SWIG) or need more intimate
controll at the boundaries between the C++ and Scheme.
