Sorry, not sure what you mean. A compliment? ;-)

You might want to contact address@hidden, the author. I don't know  
if he is active with egg maintenance though.

I forgot to add the following to the code snippet (kinda necessary):

#>
#include <mysql.h>
<#

Note that the 'foreign-mysql-*' bindings are exported so the 'mysql- 
fetch-field-list' procedure doesn't need to be part of the egg.

Personally I think it a little too specific. Probably a 'define- 
foreign-record' should be added to the egg for the 'MYSQL_FIELD'  
struct, this would allow Scheme access to the entries from a pointer.

I can look into this if you need it.
