Fluids?  Fluids?  Ahhhhhh!

Oh well at the moment I'm probably going to encapsulate all the
command&control functions into a class, and write a "hardcoded"
(unscriptable) version for now...  Then I can investigate plugging in
guile or tcl or perl or whatever as subclasses...  I really like guile,
but implementation problems are getting to be a bit much.  However since
people are working on these problems (OS threading and environments) it
looks like guile IS moving towards what I need it to do...  I just isn't
there yet.
