First of all, we indeed would like to migrate to MzScheme,
which seems to be far more efficient than Guile.
So any work on such a port would be highly appreciated.

Notice also that the MzScheme developers started to provide a dynamic
library for guile compatability. You might first want to contact them and
ask them whether they plan to complete this port. TeXmacs might be a good
working example for them too in order to measure the quality of this port.
Notice also that we provide backward compatability for Guile,
so a port for any version of Guile would do.
