I didn't write the entire Gtk+ binding, though I enhanced it a bit after
it was contributed.  If you want to write Qt bindings, I'll be pleased
to integrate them of course.

BTW, Gwanael, one other thing you could do is to rewrite the Gtk+
binding to base it on GObject-introspection (parsing the XML type
libraries) instead of awk scripts.
