And we should not forget to keep the same ordering of data. For
example, in gtk-perl, Gtk::Gdk::Drawable::get_size returned
($height, $width) whereas pointers were passed to the C function
in the opposite order. As for get_size, I've fixed it to have the
same ordering.

Also, probably we could make use of 'wantarray' to give back an
array or an arrayref, since this is virtually gratuitous for us.
