There don't seem to be any tarballs anywhere --- I looked, but even the
 "Download" page of the guile-gtk site states:

     "For the time being, release tarballs are not available.
      Please use the development snapshots from CVS."

 So, I checked out RELEASE_0_5_3 from CVS.  (The "Files" section of
 the project page on Savannah is non-existent.)

Awesome (and it looks like I am all set on the g-wrap side - v1.3.4).
(Wow... what a coincidence --- I wonder if Greg Troxel's email was even
 in the archive yet when I went looking through it yesterday.)

"Compile guile-gobject with -O0, due to bug in g-wrap" - right?
 I'll give it a shot.

Thanks!
