Without too much work, we were able to use the parser from libglade and
enhance it for full support in glade_interface_dump() (which was originally
intended for debugging purposes); you're welcome to grab that code from
glade-3.

You can then probably use libglade directly to instantiate your interface,
you're just missing one part; the part that itterates over your widget
hierarchy and creates the GladeInterface structure representation of 
your UI :)
