I'm actually working on it right now.  The main issue was whether to
use svn or cvs -- I (and I think others) want to use subversion, but
g-wrap is already listed on savannah, and savannah doesn't have
subversion support.  Debian offers subversion support via
alioth.debian.org and svn.debian.org, but using it would require
creating a g-wrap project on alioth.  So we'd need to either move
g-wrap to alioth wholesale or have two g-wrap sites.

I'm currently trying to decide whether I want to just not worry about
it and go with CVS on g-wrap, or pick one of the above options so we
can have a subversion repository.  If I haven't had any insights in
the next two days, I'll flip a coin.

I thought I was going to do it last weekend, but I got tied up
tracking down a nasty guile 1.6 bug involving the
psyntax.ss->psyntax.pp syntax-case preprocessing.  Wasn't a waste
though -- surprisingly, looks like I was actually able to track it
down.

Presuming Marius and/or Mikael has time to verify that what I did
looks ok (or even if they don't have time, if a bit more time passes
and all the tests are passing), then I'm planning a 1.6.5 release
soon.
