Interesting -- I didn't know schelog already existed -- I'd thought
about wanting a prolog-like language for Guile so that guile might be
able to be used (for projects that guile doesn't depend on :>) as a
Make replacement.  Wouldn't it be terrible to be able to define real
functions in your makefile:

  (define (make-a-lib-foostyle targets deps envt)
    ...)

  (production-rule "(.*)\.foo\.in$" " -> "$1.foo"
   make-a-lib-foostyle)

or whatever...
