Oww, that information is quite out of date.

gnucash-env sets up the environment exactly as GnuCash itself would see it and 
then runs the command that was specified as an argument.

So strictly speaking, 'gnucash-env guile' would allow you to use the gnucash 
specific guile modules as you suggest in an earlier mail.

I doubt if this will work though, because most of the gnucash guile code 
relies on the gnucash-bin application to be running (at least that's how I 
understand it), because it depends heavily on portions of the code that are 
written in C.
