sounds good to me.  I guess performance shouldn't be a problem (menus
don't eat cpu; the ledger/register loading & etc. should remain in C 
for performance.)   I am concerned about stability.  Crashes & hangs...
it could be a nightmare if gnucash keeps crashing due to low-level 
guile/gtk bugs. 

But we do a lot of re-write in gnucash, which doesn't always seem like
its really needed to me.  I'd much rather see work on new features...
