Hi Jonas,
Are you sure? I've just re-read them and they stink[0].

So far, in my attempts to wrap gnet i've found out these facts:
1. while h2defs[1] works on the gnet headers, the resulting defs file
   needs extensive reorganization, as gnet is (mostly) not
   GObject-based.
2. seral "interesting" complexities exist on the async interfaces, which
   would require understanding of SigC::Connection and friends..
3. Oh, and it works very nicely with the event loop :-)

Anyway, for the next 1-2 months I cannot work on this due to RL 
workload, maybe after that i'd give it a shot.

HTH,
Tassos
