Here is a great paper describing an incremental approach to building a
scheme compiler by Ghuloum:


    http://scheme2006.cs.uchicago.edu/11-ghuloum.pdf


It is written in a tutorial style and shows how to incrementally add
features to build up a near complete implementation of scheme that
compiles to x86. Its not an interpreter as you asked for, but it is a
good read.


Supporting materials is here:
