Well, first someone should modify the generator to handle <implements>
so we can tell it to implement ISerializable.

Take a look at gtk+/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixdata.c. It contains C functions to
serialize and deserialize a pixbuf.

Then implement GetObjectData and a protected .ctor the creates the
pixbuf from the data stored in GetObjectData.
