I just tried drscheme3m with the C library, Allegro, that I use for
doing graphics; drscheme crashed immediately upon initializing the
Allegro system. I dont understand how using foreign.ss would make 3m
handle C pointers better, but from the above paragraph I was under the
impression that it would Just Work( TM ). Or should it just work and I'm
doing something wrong with the foreign interface?
