I am working on improving our port implementation to take advantage of the opportunity to break ABI in 2.2. I am wondering how much I can break C API as well -- there are some changes that would allow better user-space threading (e.g. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/14158/focus=15463 or Chris Webber's 8sync). But those changes would require some incompatible changes to the C API related to port internals. This API is pretty much only used when implementing port types. So, I would like to collect a list of people that implement their own ports :) I know Guile-GNOME does it for GNOME-VFS, though GNOME-VFS is super-old at this point... Anyway. Looking forward to your links :) Andy
