Oh, well I thought I'd cc'ed whomever was listed as the faq

To repeat the FAQ listing request:
GnoTime uses scheme (guile) for generating embedded reports.

Yes, except it does it inside out: it is big, heavyweight, and
requires a web server in order to run. Its not embeddable at all.
My goal of using guile was for it to be small, simple, and
embedable in a small, simple *desktop* application (that just
happens to use html for display, but is not otherwise networked
in any way). Of course, you didn't know this before I wrote this
email ...

Actually, its called eguile, now that I looked, its at
http://woozle.org/~neale/src/eguile/
I reinvented eguile and stuck it inside of gnotime because I didn't
know about it at the time. Of course, I think I like what I did
better, but what the hey ...
