Unless you want to use scheme to control other layers of the Apache
API, such as authentication, configuration, file selection, filtering,
you would be better off with either a FastCGI interface, or a seperate
server that you mapped into your web space with Apache redirects or
just straight up references.

When I do scheme web programming, I usually use scsh and the sunet
server with some mods for making the devel cycle a little nicer
(signal handler to reload configuration etc...)  Ahh, the SU tools are
just so sweet 8^)  Guile can get there too!!!

I remember seeing someone had a small webserver in guile already
written, but I misplaced the archive of it I had.  Could someone
repost that URL.  That code base would be a nice place to start, maybe
stealing some feature ideas from the sunet server.
