What elements are you looking for ? sources files ? What's the problem 
if you don't have all of them ?

I think it's wrong to check if the returns value is null. You could have 
a non null value with only a part of the project loaded. Currently with 
autotools projects, you will NULL, everything except packages sources 
and then all sources of every packages one by one but it depends on the 
implementation and you cannot rely on it.

There is a flag in each node which can tell you if the corresponding 
node is only partially loaded. So if you have a pointer on such 
AnjutaProjectNode object, you can know if the project is fully loaded or 
not. But you could have to check all nodes moreover at the moment, I 
haven't change the IAnjutaProjectManager interface so you don't have 
access to these AnjutaProjectNode object at the moment.
