Aaargh!  Thanks Yeti.  That function looks so much like the ones that get auto generated that I just assumed it must be part of the same family.  It didn't even occur to me that I might have stupidly omitted one of the source modules!  I've added it now and libgio is now building successfully.  I still need to sort out the two (Python generated) modules but everything else is looking pretty good.
