This must be new.  I knew Rob was keeping the 1.3 compatibility, at
least as of 0.9.12.  Losing that compatibility would be a hardship on
many RH 6.2 users (including myself ;) I know that we had worked on a
set of tests to determine whether guile was using the old or new SMOB
format, in order to get g-wrap working with both versions.  Did you
ever test the new g-wrap against guile 1.3 to see if it actually
fails?

Interesting....  I wonder what's changed?
