Wow! Excellent work!

I played with it a bit, since I need good glib bindings for a project
of mine. I already have made a bit of progress wrapping GError, but
there is one thing that bit me: Wrapping enums that don't have a GType
ID (such as the ones found in GLib, e.g. GIOStatus).

I think one route to wrap these would be to have h2def.py somehow
realize they don't have a GType ID (don't know if that is feasible)
and as a consequence generate a .def entry without (g-type-id
"foobar"). defs-support.scm could then use plain g-wrap gw:wrap-enum
instead of gobject:gwrap-enum.

Thoughts?

Andy
