CORBA and RPC support for Guile

Just thought I'd send out a heads-up about this...

Thanks to Bill Nell and the good people at Siemens Corporate Research,
Inc., the next release of ILU will contain support for Guile Scheme 1.2,
with SLIB 2b1.  What this means for the Guile community is what ILU
provides for all of its supported languages:

  - fast, simple development of distributed systems
  - Sun RPC support
  - CORBA and IIOP support
  - HTTP support
  - interoperability with C++, C, Java, Python, and Common Lisp programs
  - interoperability with other languages in the same address space --
that is, if you can get them to live in the same address space, ILU
provides a sort of super-foreign-function interface

ILU, of course, is free in source form (thanks to the Xerox Corporation)
from ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/ilu.html.  The version that
supports Guile should be available as ILU 2.0alpha11 within a month or
two.
