Guacamole, while having server and client components, is, at its core, a protocol. It's a protocol used to handle streaming remote desktop information efficiently over HTTP or WebSockets. While I see a little bit of overlap, I'm not sure I see a huge amount of value in trying to use it with Guacamole or replace the Guacamole protocol.
