I'm interested in whether anybody is willing to do this task.  The
GOP-PROP will come later.

I personally think that asking people to download 40 megabytes of
emacs to do a task which can be done in a 100-line scheme file is
a bit silly.

I hadn't thought of that, but I would imagine that the author
would be willing to place it under BSD or GPLv3.

Or perhaps it may be possible to convert the emacs guile-indent
elisp thing into guile.  I'd assume that this would be under GPLv2
or v3, but obviously we'd need to check.
