	...
   However, observe that there exists a scheme->C compiler Hobbit
   dedicated to scm. 

how hard is it to make it generate code for vscm?

		... The existing Hobbit versions do not cover whole
   scheme (higher-order stuff is severely restricted), but the full one
   is in the works.

what advantage does this have over other scheme-to-c implementations?
why would i want next hobbit over the next gambit?
how many of these does one need?

ps: i think making vscm compiler generate some sort of c code is
not terribly hard, if the author cared. comments?
