scm_from_zbyte_string

This is insufficient.  There are the "to" functions
and the string extraction thingys that must be done.
But I really don't like that "scm_i_make_string()" call.

SCM
scm_from_zbyte_string (const char *str)
{
  return scm_from_zbyte_stringn (str, -1);
}

SCM
scm_from_zbyte_stringn (const char *str, size_t len)
{
  char *bf;
  SCM res;

  if (len == (size_t)-1)
    len = strlen (str);
  res = scm_i_make_string (len, &bf, 0);
  memcpy (bf, str, len);
  return res;
}

Use 'scm_from_latin1_string' and 'scm_to_latin1_string', in combination
with setting all the port encodings to "ISO-8859-1" (as described in my
other email), if you want to stick your fingers in your ears and ignore
multilingual issues.
