I had a quick look, and I'm embarassed to say I ran into this
problem before but forgot to report it.
The (define-syntax (foo ...) ..) form doesn't work.  Change every
occurrence of that to (define-syntax foo (lambda (...) ..) and you'll
get further.  I attached a patch that does exactly that.

Look at the generated import.scm file; it looks like er-macro-transformer
is renamed.  This would be correct, except that er-macro-transformer is
treated "specially" I think? (in that it is treated more like a magic
symbol rather than an actual procedure that is named er-macro-transformer)

Hope this helps,
Peter
