I was thinking of writing similar "wrapping" functionality for 
Gst::MiniObject as in Glib::ObjectBase/Glib::Object.  I thought of 
taking wrap.{h,c} from glibmm and "modifying" them to work for 
Gst::MiniObject/GstMiniObject and then modifying Gst::MiniObject to 
include the "wrapper" functionality of Glib::ObjectBase and 
Glib::Object.  I'm wondering if this would be worthwhile at this time.  
Would it be?
