README excerpt:

  Mixp is a Guile interface to expat, James Clark's XML Parser,
  originally written by Thierry Bézecourt.  This release of Mixp is
  available under the terms of the GNU GPL v3 (or later); see COPYING.
  It has been tested with Guile 1.4 and 1.8, and libexpat 2.0.1.

  Mixp provides two modules for use by Guile Scheme code:

    (mixp expat)  -- corresponds roughly to libexpat API
    (mixp utils)  -- high-level convenience procs

  See documentation in doc/ for details.

  This is alpha code (pre 1.0 release).  It may have bugs,
  and the interfaces may change from version to version.

Cool!

I get a compile error with Guile 2.0 though:

    In file included from expat.c:32:0:
    gi.h:28:22: fatal error: guile/gh.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.

Regards,

Andy

OK, acknowledged.  2.x coolness is in store, but only after 1.8 coolness.
