I don't think you can -- you'll need something like libffi to create C
closures and then use CPP for a syntax for them, and you'll still need
to implement environments yourself.  But to CPS you also must have
tail calls -- which you might mimic by jumping around with gotos, but
by now you'll have a Scheme implementation...
