[plt-scheme] Reading voltages on a serial port...

I wrote a C program, tested it, then made an extension for MzScheme.  
Maybe there is an easier way, but I wanted to learn how to make an 
extension anyway.  Webpages like

http://www.easysw.com/~mike/serial/serial.html#5_1_1

show how to get and set the control signals in POSIX systems.
