[plt-scheme] foreign: am I missing something basic?

Ok, bad guess. The FFI defines _foo and _foo-pointer for most types,
so I assumed it would be the same for _scheme. Rereading your original
post I see you successfully tried your original code on OS X,
suggesting the error is Windows specific. My long-ago experience with
DLLs on Windows is that they're a bit wack: you have to mess around
with dllexport declarations or something, but I don't know how all
this busy work actually affects the generated DLL. I can only suggest
spending some time w/ Google in hopes of more enlightenment.
