thanks!  I think I managed to push my experimental brainfuck compiler 
(as far as I have it by now) to a new branch brainfuck-compiler (without 
disrupting anything else), so you may try to see if it really worked ;)

The changes are module/language/brainfuck/* (of course), but I also 
added a new paragraph to the guile-vm.texi documentation that mentions 
this example compiler as (hopefully) a good point to look at for a basic 
example on creating new languages.

I plan to check out Andy's work on the new TreeIL intermediate language 
and build a compiler to that language, too, in order to get used to it. 
  Additionally, there's still a TODO comment in the code because of a 
thing I want to comment on but was mysel unsure.  Anyways, still some 
work in progress, but have fun!

Yours,
Daniel

The pushing looks fine.

In the doc, could you add an external reference for Brainfuck,
e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck.  Both to explain what it
is, for people who don't know (like me!); and to indicate that the
name isn't our choice!
