Oh, since it's about 5 lines of code (well put apart), I'd prefer to 
output compilable code. And this way I can use my old example files to 
test the generated code.

Outputting a warning is a different thing.

There will be no glademm2. Simply a new glademm version which 
additionally supports glade2 and gtkmm2 (at minimal overhead).

Oh, everything besides some different widget properties (not output no 
longer existing properties) and additional widget (capabilities) is 
already done.

And supporting both really does not hurt (thanks to C++s abstraction), 
but makes my life easier (I can more easily port applications, can use 
existing tests).
