Yes, I've been neglecting gwave.  again.

I just got a version working with guile-2.2, although its off on a side 
development branch in my sourceforge tree at the moment:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gwave/code/HEAD/tree/branches/no-ggp-branch/

Coincidently, this follows on work I needed to get it running on centos 7, 
which has guile-2.0 and self-built guile-gnome-platform packages.  I never 
did get the recent (2.16) guile-gnome-platform working properly the way 
gwave uses it, so this branch doesn't use guile-gnome at all.

guile-gnome-platform was always a problem for non-debian users, because 
few other distributions package it at all.


Anyway, I expect to make some kind of a release shortly.  I'll probably 
integrate the no-ggp branch onto the head, since that's my plan going 
forward.

Steve
