how to read a file into a GString

[Peter Jay Salzman <p dirac org>]

currently, i need to do something like:

   gchar string[INPUT_SZ];
   if ((fp = fopen(ctl.dictionary->str, "r")) == NULL)
	      die(1, "fopen error in FindAlphaParse");

   while (fgets(string, INPUT_SZ - 1, fp) != NULL) {
   	/* code */
   }

the code would be much nicer if i could read the file data directly
into a GString rather than into a gchar and convert the gchar to a
GString.

is there a way to read a file directly into a GString?
