You can make the flags available to scheme as numbers, and then the
Scheme users can use Guile's bitwise operations (logand, longior,
logxor, etc. [see Simple Data Types -> Numbers -> Bitwise Operations in
the manual]).

This isn't really the Scheme way, but it works if you want to get
bindings done quickly. Ludovic already recommended the more schemey way,
but this isn't such a bad thing for an extension to a C program.
