[gambit-list] gsc-script

[Christian]

Hello

Since I couldn't see any way for gsc running scripts as a command 
line argument (it can however -e '(include "thefile.scm")') I wrote 
the below C program to act as an interpreter. Why not use gsi-script? 
Because I need the compiler at runtime. This can also be extended to 
load any arbitrary code before the actual script (see comment below).

To be used like:
#!/usr/local/bin/gsc-script
...

To be installed like:
  gcc -O -o gsc-script gsc-script.c
  install -s gsc-script /usr/local/bin/gsc-script

Cheers
Christian.
