1.  I would hate to see this embedded in the current repository for GnC. 

2.  A separate area for various contributions that would not be
maintained by the devs over time.  Not guaranteed to compile for future
releases.

3.  I do have a version of Balance Sheet that is moving away from guile
(haven't made it all the way yet) but better formatted that the
non-guile version.  I haven't contributed it yet since I'm not satisfied
with the indenting on it.  However, a less strict repository for sharing
would be welcome.  Have to be able to bundle multiple files as a small
package (my Balsheet-Formatted has 3 source code files).

As is rolling your own.
