Hi,

ok to clarify the situation with respect to Scheme/guile in WinCoot:

In general it is possible to compile and run WinCoot with Scheme,
however we currently DO NOT distribute WinCoot with Scheme enabled (note
to self: change website). The reason for this is that no text can be
displayed in the Scheme (Gtk) widgets and I/we want to avoid endless
commenting on this. Maybe there should be some low level implementation
without the use of fancy (scheme) widgets, so that at least scripts can
be run.. (on my - long - list now).
