Missing feature or just differences with Guile for define-public

[scprotz <scprotz@gmail.com>]

I was trying to compile the scm files that come with Aisleriot using
Kawa (these are intended for use with Guile, but I was hoping to try
them out in Java).  Many seem to compile ok, but one of the core
files, api.scm has problems.

I came across two issues when trying to convert api.scm to .class.

The first was "invalid use of '_".  Apparently kawa doesn't like the _
as part of define's.  Easy enough to fix just by changing the '_ to
another identifier.

The second issue though was I get "improper list (circular or dotted)
is not allowed here.

Here is an example define-public from the file:

(define-public (set-features . feature-list)
  (set-feature-word! (+ (get-feature-word)
       (apply + feature-list))))

My scheme-fu is very very weak, so I'm not sure if this is just an
implementation difference, a bug, or my misunderstanding.

Any help is appreciated  (and if you want your own copy of the scm
files from aisleriot, you can grab them here:
