sorry, david, i thought you understood that, and i apologise for not
making it clearer.

adam's work contains (contained) about .... 80%-90% of the required
functionality to make pyjamas-desktop, the only full and empirical testing
environment, actually work.

even that one piece of functionality missing - event handling - _instantly_
makes adam's work unusable.

not to mention the removal of LANGUAGE_GOBJECT features, XMLHttpRequest
and so on.

then we go back to square one.

i will await review of this massive patch.

i trust that the research material will be reviewed and that the
sound technical insights given for keeping LANGUAGE_GOBJECT will
be given the merit and the consideration that they deserve.
