Hi Bill,
  Glad to hear all my hard work still exists somewhere. :-)  If I had
the time I would love to get the Guile support more current, but I am
pretty busy.

  If anyone out there in Guile-land would like to take on the project
of updating ILU to the latest version of Guile I would be happy to lend a
hand (time permitting of course).
