Wasn't the XS not the decisive thing? For example I'm developing stuff 
which contains XS code and links to C but plan to (real soon now) 
release it in the namespace Gtk2::Ex::Geo::* (as was discussed here 
before). Are you suggesting Gtk2::Phat since libphat is a collection of 
_GTK widgets_ written in C? (I read this from 
http://flosspick.org/package/full/libphat0, I'm not familiar with 
libphat otherwise). Or am I just missing something?
