The problem is that i need the first-class-environments to make
my design work... It's more or less finished now. Problems are
in the GC part, which i start to grasp only now (thanks to
gc-mistakes), and in the string handling routines
(e.g. encodings), which i'll ignore for now.
No, it's not downloadable yet, since it can't be used so far. ;)
(the biggest problems left after the environment stuff are to
integrate all Apache API functions into Guile so they actually
fit well, which isn't as easy since Apache has it's own memory
management. Also, the CGI environment isn't finished yet (which
is related to the lack of first-class-environments).

Another possibility would be to use something like FastCGI or
similar. But i'm not familar with those protocols. :]
