Wow!   This is amazing!  Not only it is amazing, but your support code
is beautiful!  (btw, you forgot to post the sample).

One thing that might be beneficial for the project is to use the
GObject arguments to minimize the code written.   A lot of settings
can be accessed through arguments, so you could minimize the number of
Dllimports that you have to write.

Mapping signals to delegates was also a beautiful idea.

Miguel.
