I would also like to use a GtkTreeModel within a non-gui library
(libgircclient) to handle the IRC network list.
Note: it appears as though doing this will require changing how the DnD
code works. I believe a GtkTreeModelDnd wrapper object is one possible
answer to this, one who's API can be designed given the present
developer experience with DnD, possibly behaving somewhat like
GtkEntryCompletion (a configurable helper object which handles the
actual work of determining what can be dragged/dropped where).
Unfortunately I've got too many things I should already be working on to
do this.
