Yes, I know it and it's good stuff. I'd love to see a working port to guile:
is there one? I started doing it but got bogged down in structs and macro
packages.
It would be nice to provide a backend that uses Raph Levien's very cool libart
http://www.levien.com/libart/
Does anybody know whether gnome-guile has bindings for the anti-aliased canvas?

BTW: the problem with post-script is that it's not editable except with a text
editor. The advantage of writing to xfig is that you can load it into xfig
and add/change stuff easily.
