Cool... This is great, but these categories are pretty specific.  I
think there needs to be at least one other catch all-group like (util
...).  I'd suggest this hold modules similar to (ice-9 format), (ice-9
q), &c (I'm not suggesting moving those modules into (util ...), but
as examples of the sort of things (util ...) might hold).

I also think there should be a top-level entry for SRFI code.  This
could contain pointers to the appropriate module in the other
categories.  

Thanks,
