Re: srfi-8.scm and psyntax.ss licensing issue

Hello!

Scott,

   Please send this new version to me as well, or alternatively put
this somewhere everyone can download...

   I was trying to port
http://planet.plt-scheme.org/package-source/soegaard/control.plt/2/0/tagged=
-begin.scm
to
SISC a few months ago with the purpose of adding it to my SISC mess...
I mean, library at
http://github.com/igorhvr/bedlam/tree/master/iasylum/
and I realized it couldn't do it because it requires a newer version
of psyntax.ss ...

   I was considering trying to port the latest version to SISC myself,
but if you can do it, it would be really great!

Thanks,
 Igor.
