Like Chris noted, the bindings are generated at run-time by reading a
typelib file that describes a C library. Many GNOME libraries provide
typelib files. You might have some in a directory such as
"/usr/lib/girepository-1.0" or somesuch.
I have yet to try to use Gtk4 beyond making sure that its typelib can
be parsed. There is some functionality that Gtk4 requires that
guile-gi can't handle yet, such as vfuncs.
The generated bindings do use GOOPS but GOOPS is bolted on top of
GObject's own class hierarchy, so it is a bit of a hybrid.
