Well, it has been a long time since I first implemented it, but I don't
remember using any features of Guile that couldn't easily be implemented
using the R4RS standard (R5RS hadn't been out at the time).
So, I don't think it would be too hard to make it implementation
independent.
If anyone is really interested I would take the time to dig out the old
code out and make it as vanilla Scheme (R4RS, R5RS?) as possible.
