This is a collection of R and Python code to process .defs files
for Gdk/Gtk/Gnome libraries and generate R- and C-level
bindings to the data structures and routines provided by
those libraries.

To use these, you will need a) R, b) python (preferably 2.2 or higher
but 1.5 will probably work), c) pygtk (version 0.6.8 or higher).  One
must set the PYTHONPATH to include the generate/ directory within the
pygtk package. Essentially one needs the Python classes that provide
the defs parser.  You can specify this by setting value of the
variable PYTHON_GENERATE_DIR in the GNUmakefile.

These tools can be used with other .defs files, such as gnome,
libimpl, Gnome extensions, etc.


Hopefully we will handle proper memory management and garbage
collection in the near future. This should be as simple as changing
the code pyGen.R code and handling events properly to catch widget
destruction, etc.
