ok whoaaa, my head is spinning from creating so many patches.
it's still not done - there's the GNUMakefiles.am patches.

now at least there are smaller sets of work which people can look at
[and in some cases fight over, which has begun already].

at least however the bun-fights will be contained and will no
longer spill over into _this_ bugreport, thank god.

the goal is: "useable and useful gobject bindings".  i'll
be making sure that happens, no matter how much people may
want to make that a difficult task.

anyone who would like to enter into discussions about what
is "useful" and what is "useable" regarding gobject bindings,
please name a suitable place and i will be happy to engage
with you in technical and strategic discussions.

as it's a fairly obvious place, i'd recommend the individual
bugreports, now that they are subdivided, unless anyone
has any better ideas.

also, the subdivided bugreports are a good place where anyone
interested can make smaller individual contributions that would
help landing them.

for example, i am giving some thought and consideration to
breaking up the GNUmakefile.am patches so that people can
look at adam's excellent work and bring it in.

also there are a couple of bugreports with hand-coded files
that could do with auto-generators, those would be _great_
to do properly: the individual bugreport is the best place
to see what needs to be done.

overall the suggestion, david, to split this up into separate
patches was very very welcome, but i couldn't do it _until_
it was someone _inside_ the webkit team who suggested it.

the reason: attempts to utilise the bugtracker in a way in which
bugtrackers are supposed to be used were met with crack-downs
(close; invalid; wontfix etc.) and hostility by other webkit team
members.  so, i am _really_ grateful to you for making everyones' lives
that much easier.
