Dale Smith on IRC noted that Martin Grabmüller once wrote a skeleton for
Guile extensions written in C:

  http://uebb.cs.tu-berlin.de/~magr/guile/guile-extension-0.0.1.tar.gz

It has a `convert.sh' script that automatically sets up the basic
package environment for you.  For instance, running "./convert.sh foo"
creates a `guile-foo' package, with C stubs in `foo.c' and `foo.h'.

There are also Guile bindings for many libraries that you could use as a
starting point, although it won't be as straightforward as running a
script.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
