R6RS library compatibility is still a bit in flux, but the basic strategy for 
importing implementation specific features is to define a *-compat.<impl>.ss 
file and have your program import library *-compat.  

You still need to set the the implementation specific search paths and 
possibly symbolic links.

E.g. see attached process-compat.*.sls files which live in my "kend" 
directory.

Use:
 (import (kend process-compat) 
;; ...
)


Close enough?
