   I offer to pull the code out of serveez (mostly out of guile.c

   make serveez use this library.

sounds like a good move.  one suggestion: if the interface is clean, the
implementation can be in scheme.  configuration is typically a one-time
cost and so dragging its implementation maintenance down via a compiled
language approach is not indicated.  IMHO, the less binary libraries to
deal with the better.

i have plans to replace src/wikid/listener.scm w/ serveez, so if your
approach can support src/wikid/config.scm as well, that would be even
better.  (see http://www.glug.org/people/ttn/software/wikid/ and the
dist/ subdir in that directory for tarball and code, respectively.)
