	The PersistStream interface is not deprecated; people are encouraged to
implement it. The mechanism of using an uber-ugly, incomplete C wrapper
to implement it is however gone completely. Thus to implement
PersistStream you have to use BonoboObject in a more sensible fashion;

	The easiest way to do that is to copy bonobo-persist-stream.c & .h,
rename it, chop the helpers from the bottom - and instead of throwing C
callbacks - just implement the load / save methods yourself nicely.

	HTH,
