I guess I can send you my lcc backend code and my ideas for how
"gtk_object_new" and "gtk_object_set" could be used from a scripting
language, though you probably already have some ideas. You can
probably modify the lcc backend so that it outputs stub functions for
you.
And no, I'm not really working on the scheme bindings anymore. I do,
however, want to finish the "*new" and "*set" mechanisms so that they
can be used from a scripting language.

PS I'll try and remember to send the lcc stuff when I'm back on my
home machine.
