I moved pretty largish project from SCM to Guile. Apart from prefixing
everything with SCM_, the only two changes needed were workaround for
a bug that got fixed in SCM but not in Guile (I wish I could reproduce
it in less than a few hundred lines of code, otherwise I'd fix it
myself), and a slightly different startup sequence. I'd say they're
still pretty compatible. :)

Also, with debugging turned off, there was no discernible speed
difference between the two.
