Guile-www is nowhere to be found, at least from my
observation point to the Net.

There are many resources, but not this one AFAICS.
The reason I am asking is that, for the not near future, I
laid my eyes on a couple of SMTP C language libraries and on
GNU mailutils (which already has some Guile binding).
I would like to have a C language library for SMTP that I
can use in Guile and non-Guile code and that does not
duplicate code that I already have in the GEE distribution
(like base64 codec and SSL usage).
None of the libraries that I have seen so far has the
model that I like, some is not well documented and some is
not well implemented (no hooks for memory allocation and
errors in protocol implementation).
So work is needed and I do not want to duplicate efforts
already done by others.
I have to say that I was not aware of how much work has
been put into GNU mailutils, and I am impressed; but they
left behind the documentation of the C libraries... Hey! I
see that on July they released version 1.0 (after two years),
I will look into it...
