This begs the question of what gnome libraries need to be wrapped, and
in what order.  Perhaps a list of targeted gnome libraries (and they are
legion) should be compiled, with completion status for each one.

I don't know how many non-GUI libraries are necessary to wrap, for
example libxml.  Java already has these and more.  If all non-gui
libraries are skipped, that leaves significantly fewer libraries.  But a
few non-gui libraries that must be dealt with are bonobo, gnome-media,
gnome-audio, etc.  I assume that the goal is to be able to make any type
of Gnome app using java-gnome.  Is this the case?
