Hi,

Encouraged by Martin I've finally started packaging Oleg's SSAX library, and have just a question. The package definition that I currently have is attached below for reference.

As you will see, it installs a pretty small subset of all the files that exist in the official archive at Sourceforge [1]. In particular, none of the files in "benchmark", "test" or "examples" are included. The reason is that none of these files run in scsh, either because they are made for some other implementation of Scheme or because they are pure R5RS but use functions not exported by "packages.scm" ("examples/outline.scm" is such a case).

All in all, this makes the package pretty rough to use, so I'd be interested in knowing whether people who have used this package with scsh in the past have any suggestion about how to improve things. My own experience with this package is unfortunately pretty limited.

Thanks,
Michel.
