Try git://raeburn.scripts.mit.edu/guile-emacs.git. But it's about two years old. :-( One of these days.... > As a concrete example, one could use guiles libffi integration to offer > the same feature to Emacs.

Hmm... this touches on a political issue I'd been avoiding thinking about. Namely, adding Guile to Emacs, with Guile's new FFI support, would make dynamically loading new executable code into Emacs easy, technically, including non-GPL code written specifically to extend Emacs. There's been a lot of resistance to that in the past. See for example http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2003-07/msg00403.html . On the technical side (ignoring the political/legal angles), I wonder if it would be quicker to drop FFI support into Emacs directly, using an interface based on the Guile one, and use that for now, until the Emacs+Guile work is far enough along to merge. I suspect your xwidgets code would be ready for integration much sooner than that. :-) Ken
