I am interested in producing a SDL binding for Bigloo Scheme. Has anyone
else attempted this before?

I am curious what other schemers have attempted a SDL binding. I'm aware of
3 Chicken Scheme efforts, as per a question of mine in this forum in
November 2004. What are the statuses of these efforts?

[can't find a webpage for Jonathan Bartlett's effort]

There's one for guile. I've barely used guile or its SDL binding, but
I recall it was quite easy to use when I evaluated it briefly some time
ago. It looks like it's still under active development.

There is an SDL binding for Guile 1.4.x:
http://www.glug.org/people/ttn/software/guile-sdl/. Unfortunately it
doesn't build out-of-the-box for the current stable Guile release
(1.6.x), but you may be able to leverage some of the code
(licence-permitting, of course).

There are actually only two efforts, Tony Garnock-Jones sdl egg
(the official one - works quite well, but is not complete and only
minimally documented), and J. Bartlett's one (I don't know the status
of that one).
