That might have been me. The status is that I haven't done much about
it since then - the patch I sent in was quite poor, and it wasn't applied.
The major problems with Guile and BeOS is the network socket parts of the
code - since I wasn't going to use those parts I just disabled a lot of
code in that area. Getting the rest up was a breeze (add some header-file
detection to configure.in and wrap a few dangling else macro invocations
inside curly braces). I've thought about resubmitting those parts but I
mostly use Linux at the moment.
BeOS R5 (just released) didn't come with the new networkign code as was
previously indicated by Be - BONE (the rewritten network part) will be
released as an update later on. My hope is that with this rewrite, the
socket-related problems will disappear.
