So where can I find these gir files? I researched, but couldn't find anything.

I don't want to be a dick (warning: about to be a dick) but the less time I spent working through templating and asset zipping and calling external tools from msbuild, the happier I (and hopefully everyone else) will be. I'm extremely comfortable in ruby, but I can get everything to run from  1 msbuild command, all under .net.

The fixer, generator, generated code, and customizations are all C#.  So no, I don't think it makes sense to introduce any additional languages to the picture.  We are trying to remove one with the parser.

That seems like a good first step toward a gtk-sharp.sln build system.
