cool stuff in cvs head



we've been working furiously for the past several days on Glib and Gtk2 in cvs... here's a heads-up:

- documentation autogeneration experimentation
building from the xsub scanner i posted last week, ross and i have crafted an elaborate scheme involving parser and podifier modules (Glib::ParseXSDoc and Glib::GenPod), some nifty makefile rules, and special POD directives in the xs source... all of which results in readable, usable, automagically generated api reference documentation.

- makefile automation
the Makefile.PLs for the gtk2-perl modules are ridiculous, and the documentation stuff only made it worse. to cut down on the copy and paste tedium, we created Glib::MakeHelper, which generates some of the more tedious portions of your Makefile.PL for you.

- CellRenderer subclassing
i've merged the Gtk2::CellRenderer subclassing code from a couple of weeks ago into Gtk2, with torsten's examples.


planning on the next set of releases, Glib and Gtk2 1.02, "real soon now". stay tuned.
