I don't know if were talking about the same thing here, but i was
looking through the Gtk tutorials, the section about creating your own
widgets. I saw that a great deal of the code needed there is always the
same. So i thought maybe it would be nice to create a program which
could generate the code for me. This would save me a great deal of
writing. Stuff like autogenerating code when adding signals ,etc.
