I'd just like to know if anyone is opposed.  the incorporation I'll
perform myself, then ;).

sure, would be cool.  except for the "adapt" part: if you want the
resulting compiler to be _right_ for Guile (as in: handle Goops,
implement Syntax Case the way deity intended, be extensible in Goops,
&c), then it might be better to just bite the bullet and write the
damn thing from scratch.  I know I'm not up to it yet, though. ;)
