I don't really know anything about Guile other than what I've learned turning
the guile bindings for guppi into Python bindings (I adjusted James
Henstridge's wrapper generators for PyGTK), but what are the problems with
SWIG? 

Was it the problem of dealing with complex datatypes and arrays? You
didn't like the interface files? It sounds like what you're describing is
another version of SWIG, which I'm sure it's not, but I'm curious what the
problems were and the differences are.
