GTypeInterface, the base class for GtkTreeModel, is the glib 
attempt to provide the equalivant to a Java interface. In my
opinion it is implemented poorly and provides very little
benefit.  GtkTreeModel suffers from some of the problems that
exist in GTypeInterface.  When I have the time I will go
into more details on this topic.

TreeModel wasn't created because when I put together the
defs file for the latest gtk implementation I wasn't quite
sure how to best implement this beast.  I currently believe
that TreeModel should be implemented as an abstract base
class.  We should be able to use the code generator to generate
the class and then make a few manual changes (like making it
abstract).
