Oh, that's the easy part. ;^) How about "gear". Could be something like

Gears are finely machined components that mes
Sorry. I should clarify. When I said "add in a modular fashion", I
meant that once that initial core was set up, it should be
(primitively) functional, and adding functionality to the package
manager would be something anyone could do.
Okay. So I'm settling on the idea of the package manager (not sure
what to call it. A CPAN style thingy.) I'm thinking of looking
primarily at dorodango or maybe Nix as resources,depending on what
makes sense in the context of Guile.

Hey. Sorry, to be a little clearer:
It looks like Dorodango could provide a great resource to pull from.

calling conventions, with the user telling GCC which one to use

Hi! I'm interested in working on guile as part of the Google Summer of Code.
I'm Paul Raccuglia, a Math/CS student at Haverford College (and
general freelance hacker). I'm pretty excited by Guile, I think it's a
cool project. I do a lot of Python coding, and I love interpreted
languages; Guile see
