Squee!! guile-squee brings postgresql bindings for guile via the FFI

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Hello all!

I started a little experimental project recently called
guile-squee... it's presently verrrry simple:

  https://notabug.org/cwebber/guile-squee

It's postgres bindings via the FFI.  This was originally for my own
purposes because I need something to serialize json data in and out of
postgres for my "activitystuff" project, but a few other Guile hackers
have taken interest.  I just added David Pirotte and David Thompson as
collaborators.

Where will things go from here?  Time will tell!  But here's some things
we're interested in:

 - Right now all values to and from sql are represented as strings.
   Racket does a nice job of converting to and from proper scheme
   values, we should do something like that using the byte format
   and converting to and from proper scheme types via bytevectors.
 - Something like https://github.com/fukamachi/sxql like would be
   stellar
 - Something like http://eudoxia.me/crane/ sitting on top of the sxql
   layer would be nice too
 - ???

Anyway, if this piques your interest, maybe take a look!
