I don't think Guile has an equivalent of *msg-peek*, *msg-oob*
and *msg-waitall*.  I don't know why SRFI 106 asks for socket-
{input/output}-port to return fresh ports, if non-fresh ports
were allowed, the socket itself could be returned.  Except for
these issues, everything seems to be implementable in pure GUile.
