I also do not see an immediate alternative to this approach.

The porting process should not be so bad, however, because Andre Van  
Tonder's expander has support for defining procedural macros based on  
explicit renaming.  Larceny's procedural macros are also based on  
explicit renaming.  So there should not be too much of a learning  
curve for doing the ports.

(There may even be some clever way to combine an include facility  
with the explicit renaming system to define simple wrapper libraries  
that include the source text from the current files in lib/FFI and  
lib/Standard that define syntax transformers.)
