You might want to check out Marc Feeley's Gambit Scheme.  It's freely 
available (the last I'd heard) and was developed as part of Feeley's PhD
thesis at Brandeis.  It's far less pig-like the MIT CScheme, which has been
known to make even mighty machines beg for death, and is very compatible,
to the extent that all of the problems in Abelson and Sussman's SICP have
been successfully done with it.
