i don't speak officially for the perl bindings team as a whole, but i don't
think they'd dissagree. if the only changes are return values and adding
GError's on the end it won't change our api and wouldn't really cause much
work.

same goes for the perl bindings.

as for the GError's they're turned into perl croaks and the GError objects
wrapped and placed in $@, so they can be caught using normal perl practices.
they're not passed as parameters so the changes would be confined to a
function that didn't croak, now can. since GtkFileChooser hasn't been in a
stable release i dont' think this would hurt anything.
