I'm working towards converting the program to Scheme as it is a higher
level language than C and it allows for better testing and faster
progress.  Thereafter I'm planning to transform two related
lepton-netlist backends to so named (newly introduced) 'module
backends', which will give us a chance to replace system calls in the
program with just using available Scheme functions.  The base for it has
been added recently, I just need some time and motivation to go ahead.
One discouraging fact for C lovers is I work towards converting most of
C to Scheme.  I, for one, like C.  OTOH, I like Scheme much better.  In
this particular case, IMO, the C code is overcomplicated, and any work
on it takes much more time compared to what I could spend if I did it in
Scheme.

In two words, since about two or three years ago I had a new Scheme
prototype version of the program.  I realized then, that it is not good
enough tested and I need much more work on testing it in order to offer
it to the users.  If I do all testing myself, it'll spend much more
time to come to some result :-)
