This came up in discussion in #899.

Basically, there is a wealth of Scheme packages in repositories like Akku and maybe snowfort. We want to make it easy to pull them, compile them, and integrated in Gerbil projects and packages.

Difficulties:

Compiling the sources we pull
Creating appropriate namespaces and .ssi loaders
Chain of trust; we probably should not enable it by default, but it should be easy for a user to add Akku.
