Sometimes we just have to guess what the gtk developers had in
mind.  GtkBindingSet is not documented so it falls into this category.
It looks like this method will return a binding set that matches
the provided name or NULL.  I would make a static method that does
just that.  Something like

static public findBindingSet(String setName) {
	return new BindingSet(gtk_binding_set_find(setName));
}

This assumes that you have created a constructor that takes the
handle.

Please don't hesitate asking any questions on this list.  My goal
is to make sure as many people understand the bindings as possible.
This will only allow us to move faster as more people are working
on the bulk of the code.
