Where's this text from? Anyway, I've gotten this to a somewhat workable state,
though it still needs finishing and is currently on hold (not too much
interest..). It's in gnome cvs, in gimp-plugins-unstable/gimple.

I haven't touched it in a couple of months, though, so it might not work with
recent guile and guile-gtk..

Anyway, the long term plan is to make gimp use CORBA for external
communication, so ultimately, a guile interface for ORBit is more
important. (Note that ORBit doesn't have proper DII or DSI working yet,
though)
