It is a huge job. Chicken has fairly unique FFI requirements (mostly to 
do with memory management) that make wrapping GTK+ a real challenge. 
(Also the design of GTK+ is itself working against you, fairly often.) 
If you were to start from scratch, perhaps SWIG might get you a fair 
way; I haven't yet managed to get round to experimenting with SWIG and 
chicken. If SWIG isn't going to work for wrapping GTK+, then in my 
opinion a from-scratch rework will end up repeating a lot of the code I 
wrote - but of course I might have missed a better way of doing things :-)
