No, because GtkSourceView is not part of GTK+. gtkmm wraps GTK+. But there is
nothing to stop anybody wrapping it separately.

Probably not.

As I said in another email today:

We generally start new *mm projects by copying another one and changing the
relevant build files. For instance, I recently created libgnomeprintmm by
copying libgnome-vfsmm. You could copy libgnomeprintmm on the principle that
the latest copy might be the best.

If you want to understand how gtkmmproc works, then take a look at gtkmm's
docs/internals directory.

I think it's used by gedit now, so it's probably quite mature.
