GObject Introspection based static binding generator for Gtk2hs

Description

This was my project idea from last year, but I ended up not doing GSoC. It would be useful to have a static binding generator for Gtk2hs using data from gobject-introspection to do most of the work, making it easier to update and maintain the bindings to Gtk+ and company, and easier to add bindings for new GObject based libraries.

While it'd be nice to have I'm worried that this project wouldn't benefit enough people. Make sure that you focus on motivating why this project is important for the whole community in your application.

There's an independent implementation of this idea in progress. There's still a lot of work to do, but it would be good not to duplicate efforts.
