Hi François,
 great to see some work on this side. I started to port to Guile 2.0 some 
time ago, first by changing the C++ side to make it compile with Guile-2. 
This was done. I stopped when I realized that there should have been deep 
changes in the Scheme side to accomodate the Compile/Run 2 phases of 
interpretation of Guile-2 and all the module system which is incompatible 
with this approach. I wanted to modify the TeXmacs module system to be 
compatible with the 2 phases but my proficiency in scheme is not enough. In 
many points there are assumptions about code being run while interpreting the 
sources and this would have to be modified in Guile-2 since this code is not 
run but kept there until execution which then imply that further compilation 
will happen in the wrong environment. 

I'm interested in following the developements and also there were another 
person (Mike Gran) how was similarly interested. 

Let us move the discussion to texmacs-dev.
