Hi David, FYI: I'm using snd with scheme and couldn't use the packaged version of arch as it seems to have ruby built in. I'm now using a self compiled snd version with scheme in /usr/local, but maybe it'd be good to do it like debian and also package a snd-scheme in arch for people like me. IIRC debian has snd-ruby, snd-forth and snd-scheme (meybe even creating a symlink to snd to make them coexist nicely instead of replacing the snd binary, but my memories are fading).
