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:

// More XML here...

This is part of the application code:

[...]

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

[...]

        g.addFromFile(fileContent);

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

    // More code here ...
}

[...]

addFromFile expects the *name* of the file. Because you already 
have the *contents* of the file, you should change method. Maybe 
addFromString is the correct one, but I'm not sure.
