Ok, if you can get the current demo to run, then I would be happy to
stay in sync with the trunk and keep the bindings up-to-date while
trying with my limited knowledge. I have only done bindings with SWIG
and I have no idea about the codegen system used to generate the
GObject bindings, but I am ready to learn.

I will be able to allocate a couple of hours each week on this project.

Thanks,
