gh_enter reconsidered


I've been looking at the possibility of adding Guile scripting plugins
for various Gnome apps, like gnumeric (which already has python and
the beginnings of perl support). It looks like in many cases, gh_enter
is a major problem - these apps load plugins as dynamicly linked
modules, not separate processes, thus making Guile's desire to own
main a big hindrance which cannot be circumvented. I know many
technical issues came up last time this was discussed, but this is
becoming a problem in practice so I hope we can reconsider it.
