Yeah, but that doesn't explain why no *user* pulled it together.

I hang it on the Lisp community. They don't like to do genuine grunt work. There's *still* no Gtk or Qt interface wrappers for Lisp.

For Pete's sake, the interface description for Gtk is in *LISP* last I checked. When I looked at how PyGtk built its wrapper, it pulled an interface file from Gtk that described everything with S-expressions in Lisp.
