This is new one to me, but - in the best Modula-3 tradition -  it will be reused a lot :).

I did gtk2 binding and right now it's pretty useful. Right now I am working through gobject introspection with plans to automate complete bindings for everything gobject. Not shared at the moment, but no problem if anyone is interested. Currently, library is being developend and tested on LINUXLIBC6, AMD64_LINUX, AMD64_DARWIN and NT386.
