I have started to do so, but run out of ideas for creating the source.
It needs a Gda_Connection for creating a new gnome_db_browser widget. I
guess it's not a good idea to write it like this:

source_add (data, "Gda_Connection *cnc;\n");
source_add (data, "cnc = cnc = gda_connection_new(bonobo_orb());\n");
...
...
source_add (data, "  %s = gnome_db_browser_new (cnc);\n", data->wname);
