Another neat bug in current-CVS (hit import, go boom! :)

[Derek Atkins]

That did it.  Thanks.  Want me to send a patch, or can the right thing
happen in CVS?

After changing the references in guile-util.c, as you suggested, I
thought I'd look to see where else gh_lookup() was being used.  Here
is the list.  Should these be changed to gh_eval_str() as well?

-derek

find . -name \*.\[ch\] -print | xargs grep gh_lookup
./src/gnome/top-level.c:    SCM rem = gh_lookup(gnc_scheme_remaining_var);
./src/gnome/top-level.c:    SCM window = gw_wcp_assimilate_ptr(app, gh_lookup("<gnc:UIWidget>"));
./src/guile/File.c:  /* This should be gh_lookup, but that appears to be broken */
./src/guile/gnc-helpers.c:    trans_type = gh_lookup("<gnc:Transaction*>");
./src/guile/option-util.c:    void_type = gh_lookup("<gw:void*>");
./src/guile/option-util.c:    callback_type = gh_lookup("<gnc:OptionChangeCallback>");
