   Hmm, it seems your config stuff is purely scheme... The stuff I
   adapted in Serveez is for using scheme to "configure" C structs.

if you can separate the configuration act from the configured thing then
you will see this distinction is not so important.  (if it is important
to your design perhaps that indicates the design is not sufficiently
general.)
                                                    
poking around, i see that actually there is already a way to configure
C-level structures from scheme already -- see the "structures" node in
the manual.  you can use this (possibly confusingly named) facility to
define an almost arbitrary vtable, the only restriction that i can see
being structure members must have word alignment.  perhaps i'm missing
something?
