erm, that doesn't sound right.  'typemap' should Just Work, but for 
other various reasons, you may want to call it 'dom.typemap' or the 
like, and add it to the "add_typemaps" line in the Makefile.PL.  not 
sure why the path is being mangled.

did you add GtkMozEmbedReloadFlags to a maps file?  if so (and your 
project is properly set up, which i assume it is), the #define for this 
macro will be in build/whatever-autogen.h, protected by #ifdef on the 
TYPE macro.  e.g.

   #if FOO_TYPE_BAR
   # define SvFooBar(...)  ...
   # define newSVFooBar(..) ...
   #endif

you may need to either add new includes, reorder includes, or create 
your own GLib constant wrappers.

for enumeration types, there is usually a GType registered which 
includes a value table --- this is where the bindings get the 
information about the enum value nicknames.  if those wrappers aren't 
there, then the constants simply won't work as magical gtk2-perl 
constants.  several of the modules in gtk2-perl cvs have examples of 
how to add missing enum gtypes in a way that doesn't cause too many 
problems when the types are eventually added upstream.
