I know the feeling! And I have started a project in that direction, as well. It's been on a detour due to some yaks on the road for a bit now but I have hopes to find time to hack on the actual thing again soon. Also I have some yak fur coats to spare if anyone is interested. > So far I ended up with something working.

I've looked at it and have a question: It looks like you chose to build a separate language (or preprocessor) on top of Scheme. Is that assessment correct? Can you explain why you chose to do so? In my project I aim for a make(1) replacement *in* Scheme (kind of like the make egg, only more flexible) which seems sensible to me, given its syntactic extensibility.
