Re: libseed-list watching stdin

["Alan Knowles" <alan akbkhome com>]

Finally got time to look at this.

This is an example using the old API - the one you are using.
http://git.akbkhome.com/?p=gitlive;a=blob;f=Spawn.js 

The new API has changed (most of the methods have moved into GLib.IOChannel 
http://devel.akbkhome.com/seed/GLib.IOChannel.html

For some of this to work, we need support for byte arrays using the new introspection array syntax. - those methods also need correct introspection hints.

Alan
