README
******

   Bigloo-lib is a set of libraries for Bigloo, the Scheme
programming language compiler (<http://kaolin.unice.fr/bigloo/>). Most
of the libraries are interfaces for various C libraries, such as C
runtime library, LDAP client API or XML parser API. Other libraries are
written entirely on `pure Scheme', such as HTTP library and NODE
library. The libraries are intended to make it easier to write programs
in Bigloo scheme.

   Besides, the `bigloo-lib' provides a suitable framework to
configure, compile, install and deploy Bigloo (in particular, the
system-dependent) libraries, so it may be a good place to put code
created by other Bigloo developers.

General info
************

   Currently the package includes the following libraries:

   * Common utilities (used by all other packages)
