Jay Glascoe's implementation can be found at:

http://www.giss.nasa.gov/~jglascoe/GUILE/

To me it sounded as if Jay no longer is interested in working with guile,
so I strongly recommend, to somehow make sure that this code is saved for
guile.  Jay has once put a lot of effort and good ideas into the code.  If
Jay does not oppose, it should be included somewhere in the guile tree, if
not even integrated with the core.
