Yep. There are two choices here. First, you can leave gdome-xml.c just
the way it is now - it is _initially_ autogenerated by ifgen, but the
actual implementation needs to get handcoded. You want to make
generation of gdome-xml.c optional, no doubt, otherwise you might
overwrite real work in gdome-xml.c.

Second, you can have ifgen pull in the implementation from some other
file. Thus, ifgen becomes a compiler for an object-oriented extension to
C :)

The generation of the corba wrappers can probably be done totally
automatically.
