Re: G-wrap to help with translations

Thanks --- there are a lot of helpful comments in here.

SCM should probably not remain an integer type.  It seems to be
causing people too many problems.

gh_scm2int should have printed an error, not segfaulted.  Can you send
me more info, so I can make this happen on my machine and fix it?

I'm not sure what you are referring to here.  Why can't people just
use the set-var! form in the init files?

Yes, gh_set is missing.  The new module system, working name `Godot',
will fix that.
