I would favor that option, as I just moved the (gnome guile) code from the Gnome CVS to the savannah Guile-gtk project. (All the (gnome guile) code is in a separate module, under http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/guile-gtk/gnome-guile-0.1/

Maybe the naming of the module needs some refactoring, we can discuss that.
