   Great!, it seems to contain exactly what I need. In fact i think my
   search methods worked very well... :)

indeed (if you want the beans spilt, just touch the crackpot :-).
however, before you give up the search...

   [no POST support]

support for POST in Guile-WWW could definitely be improved (the servers
i mentioned by way of example all use GET).  in particular, i'm thinking
of this fragment from `make-big-dishing-loop':

                  (case method
                    ((GET) (GET M upath h p))
                    (else (UNK M method upath)))

which shows that there is no support for POST at all (in that module).
on the other hand, module (www cgi) handles POST requests, and module
(www http) can generate POST requests, so the situation may not be
entirely bleak.  and, of course, you have the source (small patches
welcome).

   It seems as you may need to advertise your site better. OK, soon
   these mails will be searched by google, then it will be :)

in that case, there is no need for anything more than open discussion on
what works, what doesn't, and the process for moving from the latter to
the former.  which is what we can do w/ calling in the marketing folks.
which is nice.
