Potentially.  Writing these things by hand hasn't been enough of a pain that 
I've given much thought to generating them.  There are also a number of cases 
that require special handling.  So, there is going to need to be some 
hand-written code.

Right.  There are also now matching functions with essentially the same 
interface, except that more quoting is required when using them.  I haven't 
settled on a naming convention yet.  Right now, when the macro is "gtk-foo", 
the function is "gtk-foo-f".  Marius has suggested "gtk-foo*" which seems 
fairly reasonable.  If anyone has any better ideas, let me know.
