The problem is that a language binding cannot instantiate an instance of 
GtkTreeModelSort using g_object_new because there is no way to set the 
child_model. The function 'gtk_tree_model_sort_set_model' is a static 
function declared in gtktreemodelsort.c. It gets called from 
'gtk_tree_model_sort_new' to set the model. Either this function needs 
to be exported so a language binding can call it or a "model" property 
needs to be installed in gtk_tree_model_sort_class_init() that can be 
set in a call to g_object_new or  g_object_set.
