Well, that's the thing.  It's a Guile library as well as an *embeddable*
Guile library in C; it comes with libemacsy.so.  So I guess the
description is off.  What about

       "Emacsy is an embeddable GNU Emacs-like library written in GNU
Guile.  It can be used as a pure Guile library, or embedded from a C
program using libemacsy.  It comes with a simple counter example using
GLUT and browser examples in C using gtk+-3 and webkitgtk."

Sure, just checking; still guile-emacsy?
