Yeah, that'll be cool to have dependency management for fine-grained
approach.

Yeah, I suggested (ported ---) for community-maintained ported
libraries.  I like it because a top-level namespace is needed, because
it's not proper to name them like (irregex) unless the author blesses
that particular R6RS port, and "ported" describes the nature of the
collection.

Feel free to incorporate/take stuff from Xitomatl and provide it in a
different way.  My view of Xitomatl has been that it's just my personal
laboratory collection and useful stuff would be moved out.  I don't have
as much free time as I used to, but I should be able to help maintain
some stuff in (ported ---).  I think it'd be good if we helped maintain
as necessary and as we're able, with flexible roles, instead of fixing
maintainers for particular libraries, at least this early.  LaunchPad
has the facilities for the coordination, but I don't care if somewhere
else is used, we just need proper facilities for coordinating.
