when i did this with ardour (and a few other projects) back in the

early days, when guile was the interpreter of choice, any benefits it

brought to the table were negated by its intrusiveness into the

overall process structure. moreover, it ended up being overkill for

the purpose, and when it was removed and replaced with everybody's

bastard child (XML), nothing was lost ...
not sure that this applies to fons' planned use of python for this

purpose, or if python suffers from the same level of issues that guile

did.
