I have done so on the web site, thanks.

I'm happy to do that, but it would be some work -- both documents have
fine tone, but they are not the same tone ;)

Also because there's no gnuplot library, it's hard to cover the spectrum
of "extending applications in Guile".

On the other hand, there is GNU plotutils, which does have a library:

But on the other other hand, it seems quite bitrotten...

See
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/master/guile.html/Dynamic-FFI.html#Dynamic-FFI.

I just updated the manual snapshot on the web site, by the way. Took a
while, as I have completely forgotten how to use CVS :P
