Name clashes are mostly hypothetical as Windows users wouldn't be able 
to have both Gtk and gtk anyway, so it would be a bad idea to have both 
of them at first place.

The more complicated thing will be to efficiently find "Gtk-1.0.typelib" 
out of "gtk".

This is something I think I already pointed out, and it would spare 
people switching from pygtk to pygi the burden of changing from "gtk" to 
"Gtk" in every single class instantiation.

While we are at it, a very nice thing would be to allow old-style 
constants to be handled as well, but I think it's going to be even more 
complicated :-) (and default values, don't forget about those!)
