Only a small subset of Scheme programs are also Common Lisp programs
with similar semantics, e.g. 'foo, or (+ 1 2). A larger subset can be
translated trivially, e.g.
(let ((a ...))
(a 'foo))
becomes something like
(let ((a (function ...)))
(funcall a 'foo))
Dorai Sitaram's pregexp library is a Scheme library that has been
machine-translated to Common Lisp. For stuff that doesn't translate
so easily, like call/cc, there are several implementations of Scheme
in Common Lisp running around.

Amen.
