Hi,

The Gtk module (on cpan for years) uses a lot of namespace (Gtk, Gnome,
Bonobo), because they all have a common origin, but not necessarily the
same target audience.

With the Gtk2 module, it is very similar (Gtk2, Glib, Gnome2), but I
intend to seperate these into seperate modules, as especially Glib is
very usable in non Gtk2-programs, the same is true for Gtk2 vs. Gnome.
(gnu/linux distributions split it into submodules for this very reason).

Right now, I intend to at least split Glib into it's own module (and
register the namespace for it).

The full list of packages right now is:

   Glib
      Glib::Object
      Glib::PkgConfig
   Gnome2
      Gnome2::Print
   Gtk2
      Gtk2::Gdk::Atom
      Gtk2::GladeXML
      Gtk2::ItemFactory
      Gtk2::Spell

Lending itself to three modules naturally.

Also, the category I'd chose for glib (utility library, object model,
event multiplexor and more) right now would be "23 Misc.", which is pretty
undescriptive but ok for Glib, which is widely known.

Any comments before I start registering the additional namespaces?
