Yes, I was one of the people interested in the cookbook recently and
would still like to see this happen.  Of course, the Perl Cookbook
asks questions and solves problems that Perl is specifically designed
for, and a Guile Cookbook would likely want to include other sorts of
problems, but PLEAC seems like a good start and a way to keep focused.

Attached is a transliteration of chapter 1 (everything but psgrep).
Most of the earlier discussions revolved around chapters 7 & 8, so
that should be quick to put together too.  I've tried to do this in
the style of the Perl Cookbook - give the most basic Scheme way to do
things, and then mention external modules and SRFI's where useful.
Naturally there's heavy emphasis on SRFI-13.

Anyone else interested?  Should we set up a list?
