Is there a way to embed a glade file into a binary?

enum fileContent = import(file);

fileContent is a static array of ubyte.
the compiler must know the path to "file" via -J"dir/subdir"



Thanks!
I've just tried that, but i get an error message with the xml 
file content, and this at the end:

This is part of the application code:

public import gtk.Main;
import gtk.TreeIter, gtk.TreeModel, gtk.TreeModelIF;
import std.concurrency, core.thread, std.math, std.parallelism;
import modelo, extra;

enum fileContent = import("vista.glade");

// More code here ...


class Vista{
private:
    Window window;
    string gladefile = "vista.glade";
    Modelo obj_model = new Modelo();

public:
    Button btn_exit;
    Button btn_format;
    ComboBoxList cbo_list;
    Switch swi_bnivel;
    Label lbl_info;
    Entry txt_et;
    int test_val = 3;

    //this(){ } // constructor

    void init_ui(){
        Builder g = new Builder();
        g.addFromFile(fileContent);

        window = cast(Window)g.getObject("Win_01");
    }

    // More code here ...
}

// Compile command:
