Yes, I know it and it's good stuff.  I'd love to see a working port to guile: 
is there one?  I started doing it but got bogged down in structs and macro 
packages.

It would be nice to provide a backend that uses Raph Levien's very cool libart

       http://www.levien.com/libart/

Does anybody know whether gnome-guile has bindings for the anti-aliased canvas?

BTW: the problem with post-script is that it's not editable except with a text 
editor.  The advantage of writing to xfig is that you can load it into xfig 
and add/change stuff easily.
