Brian and Danek, This library is used to build the "generate_extra_defs" utility executable, which is a tool to generate the signals and properties .defs files. The .defs file are text file, in a lisp format, that describe the API of a C library, including its objects (GObjects, widgets, interfaces, boxed-types and plain structs), functions, enums, signals and properties. Among them, "generate_extra_defs" executable is responsible for generating part of the signals and properties .defs files. Eventally, .defs files and gmmproc work together to generate real .cc and .h source files. More info is http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/chapter-wrapping-c-libraries.html Therefore, in one word, this library should be the same stability level as "gmmproc", I want to keep them in public.
