Create a portable library scaffolder

[amirouche]

scheme-live library create live portable my-library

Should create the base necessary files that follow the convention (e.g. create an unstable library inside (live portable my-library) that remains portable across supported Scheme implementations.

What is a scaffolder?

[amirouche]

It is a program that instanciate a template. Not sure about the proper wording. I update the issue.

All you really need to get started is the .sld or .sls file. Ideally we should auto-detect everything else (e.g. generate-wrappers should read the .sld and sls files to find all the info it needs).

I'm just starting to get enough free energy to start an R67RS standardization effort. Hopefully we could then dispense with the separate .sld and .sls and use the same library file for R6 and R7 :)

[amirouche]

I think we should minimize any upstream effort, and try to work out the issues ourself, hence maybe a standardization work might not be necessary. Guile, and Chez work with the JSON test suite. Shims for any other R6RS exists (akku-r7rs).

I think we should do our best before asking for help.
