the below diff adds "dump" command support to build-guile-gtk.  it is
based on the "glue" command defs-reading code.

Can you say a bit more why you need this?  It is not totally obvious
to me that what you did is the right thing, because you lose the
options and may not know which types have been defined and which have
just been imported by looking at the dumped data.

i would like to translate glade xml files to guile-gtk code using the
defs files and build-guile-gtk.  could you suggest a good approach (or
perhaps a pre-made solution) to this problem?

my current thinking is to build widgets by taking a constructor function
def and filling in its args using properties mapped over from the xml
file.

what is the difference between "imported" types and non-imported types?

thanks for any clues,
thi

I don't know about Glade or XML but isn't there glade support in
gnome-guile already?  Ariel?  But maybe that is not what you want.

Do you want to compile a XML file into Scheme ahead of time, or do you
want to to interpet the contents of the XML file at run-time?

Aha, hmm, so you need the information in the defs files to generate
valid Scheme code, right?  Can you give an example?  

Maybe it is easiest to just slurp in the defs file without support
from build-guile-gtk.  Or maybe you don't need the defs files after
all.

Imported types can be used in definitions, but there will be no code
generated for them.  For non-imported types, there will be some tables
generated that contain useful information about the type.

Yes. But he does not want libglade support. Instead he wants
to convert from the xml to guile code.

also, where can i find out info about these "options"?
