overrides that cover the most relevant areas of the gio API.  Plus
rudimentary POD documentation.  If you and/or Max would like to work on
this, this would be very welcome, and I would try to support you.

But also note that, if all you want is to have the gio API bound in your
Perl program, you can simply use

BEGIN {
  Glib::Object::Introspection->setup(
    basename => 'Gio',
    version => '2.0',
    package => 'Glib::IO');
}

This will give you the API that "perli11ndoc" shows for Gio-2.0.
