Check the bigloo-lib distribution. It is a set of libraries for Bigloo 
scheme compiler, and it includes the Gtk+ and MySQL bindings. The
build process fully implies on the use of
automake/autoconf/libtool/texinfo. The build files address a rather
complicated issue of prior generating C sources from corresponding
Scheme sources, so they are a quite complete example for how to use
before-mentioned instruments.
