Excellent, and nice to see it’s 100% Scheme code!

I’m looking forward for the 1.9/2.0 port.  :-)

Currently ‘ttn-do’ fails to build for me with 1.9:

BTW, what would you think of releasing the X11-related part of ‘ttn-do’
as a standalone library?

Should read: http://www.gnuvola.org/software/rpx/ .
