You're right about g-wrap, there should be a link there. Also, we need
to at least mention that the defs generator requires SLIB; the new
tarballs have a fairly explanatory error. guile-gnome itself doesn't
require guile-lib, and afaik g-wrap doesn't either, although it can take
its srfi modules from there instead of from in the tree.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty confused about our forking-paths-of-www. We
keep it in arch, but publish it to gna via cvs, and I totally forgot how
how that works. I'll poke around with it tomorrow.

Should be easy enough, and more helpful. I started on arch with this
project, so I understand the strangeness ;)

Thanks for sticking with us ;) The lisp/scheme world has a way of just
saying "aw, fuck it" and including everything into their own project
(cf. libxm in snd). Making libraries is a bit trickier at the beginning,
but it will pay off in the long run.
