I had that impression.  But I started getting reports of build failures
from the package (as gnome marches along in pkgsrc), and when I went to
try it myself, it looked like some things were no longer defined in the

OK, that sounds good.  Let me know when g-wrap is out, and I'll try to
update that and then move on to guile-gnome.
