Well, Ragnar is doing something very similar AFAIK.

I am not though - I am trying to build a Gtk plugin so that the Gtk
stuff is actually running "in the VM" as a plugin. I think a plugin
would enable more interesting uses - but it is of course more complex,
so both approaches have their respective merit.

I have packaged a little demo (for Win32) with a first little stab at
callbacks here:

Next step for me is to try to make the callback generic (for all
different kinds of signal signatures) and to write a little Lisp parser
for the .defs files that the PyGTK package has

The PyGTK people have written some advanced parser that produces .defs
files from the Gtk+ source files. These .defs files is then used in
PyGTK to autogenerate most of PyGTK and I wish to do the same in my
GtkPlugin. And Ragnar is also looking at doing the same.
