It does. Scheme does this now; I am trying to resurrect the perl
interfaces in the 1.6.x branch.  (I just added src/optional/swig
to CVS an hour ago, and the non-list-using parts of the perl bindins
work fine.  Lists are still broken.)

scheme has an advantage over perl: yuou can run scheme code while
gnucash is running.  The perl code must be run 'off-line', (i.e.
when the gnucash GUI doesn't have the file open.)

for perl, in cvs src/optional/swig/examples

for scheme, I think something in src/docs reviews this.
