I'll happily help out with the scheme and lisp stuff. For Lisp we have (currently): gcl, clisp, cmucl, sbcl and ecls. For Scheme we have bigloo, drscheme, gauche, kawa, guile, plt, mzschme scheme48 and scsh. > [Side note: is it OK for two installed packages to provide the same > virtual?] I *think* it is okay, as I often have both app-editors/emacs and app-editors/emacs-cvs installed at the same time (both provide virtual/emacs).
