Sure, call the new module g-wrap2 :-)

If that's the only user, and you can make them happy, that sounds
great.

Sure, but even just listing the available tarballs on the download

major step forward.  Those pages (particularly guile-gnome) give the
impression that no one is doing anything since they are out of date.

Thanks for the insights.
