But that isn't what I need. I need a complete fully functional
interface to GTK, GMP, Xlib, Freetype, Pango, ... blah blah ..
... all generated automatically for any available installation
using distributed *immutable* annotation files.
Hand crafting this number of wrappers -- and getting
a portable result -- just isn't an option. Hand crafting
annotation files can be made to work. I can actually
(a) call some GDK functions
(b) use callbacks successfully
