srfi-0:

Maybe we can translate the reference implementation to low-level
macros?

srfi-1:

I think Rob Browning wanted to add the original reference
implementation, but there were license issues, IIRC.

srfi-2:

(use-modules (ice-9 and-let-star))

srfi-4:

Guile already has the required data types, but they have different
names and different read/print syntax.  I think we should adopt the
SRFI, but maybe it will be difficult to maintain compatibility.

srfi-6:

should not be so hard, since we already have string ports. I'd
volunteer to do this one.

srfi-7:

Don't know about this one.  Looks hairy.

srfi-8:

(use-modules (ice-9 receive))

or

(use-modules (ice-9 srfi-8.scm))

srfi-9:

Should be easy with the existing record facilities.

srfi-13:

I would really like to see this one, it has some useful stuff
`string-split', `string-join' which is often needed, and everyone
writes them with different semantics (compare ttn-pers-scheme
vs. mgrabmue-pers-scheme ;-).

srfi-17:

Already built-in, I think.
