Well, I guess this is about Gnome 1.4. I'm not motivated at all doing
anything in this area, sorry.

However, I would like to know:

* What is the attitude of the g-wrap maintainer/author (Rob Browning)
  regarding goops-support, and how difficult/invasive would supporting
  goops be?

* Is there a CVS repository of g-wrap?

* Why does guile-gobject use it's own version of g-wrap and how does
  it differ from mainstream?

* I guess the core of future wrappers would be a tool that converts
  .def files to g-wrap modules. Is there code somewhere?

Regards,
