Great news - yes it does work!  I can successfully generate 'cc' and 'h' 
files from their corresponding 'ccg' and 'hg' counterparts. Just one 
tiny problem left to solve.  Let's take this as an example....  Assume 
that I park myself in 'gio/src'.  Here (slightly abbreviated for 
clarity) is the command I'd need to issue in order to build 'action.cc' 
and 'action.h:-

        perl gmmproc -I ../../tools/m4 --defs . action . ../giomm

By replacing the word "action" with "actiongroup", I'd then build 
'actiongroup.cc' and 'actiongroup.h' etc, etc.

My question is this...  is there a way to build ALL the ccg and hg files 
in a given folder using just a single command?  I realise I can build 
everything by creating a big loop but I wondered if there's a more 
direct route.  I tried the obvious approach (wildcards):-

        perl gmmproc -I ../../tools/m4 --defs . * . ../giomm

        perl gmmproc -I ../../tools/m4 --defs . *.* . ../giomm

but that approach doesn't work.  Obviously, I don't mind making a big 
loop if that's the only way to do it but I just wondered if there's a 
simple way to build everything in one hit?  Some special parameter I can 
pass or something like that.  Thanks.
