Look at one of the existing engines - you'll want to use one of those to
cut-and-paste all the boilerplate cruft anyway.

Basically you have to implement the vtable in gtkthemes.h, and 
the big part of this is implementing a GtkStyleClass to put in your
styles. grep for default_class in gtkstyle.c to see the default theme's
GtkStyleClass.
