With the way the code is structured right now, that wouldn't be easy. 
Even if the internal dependencies on Scheme could be avoided, you still 
wouldn't be able to execute configuration files or use the netlister the 
normal way (the current version can run non-Scheme backends, though).

It would be possible to switch to a non-Scheme configuration system and 
invoke the netlister another way.  But that would require a lot of work, 
and doing this in a way that makes sense would most probably break 
compatibility with more complex existing Scheme setups.
