The new defs format is meant to be used with Gtk 2.x primarily.

    Ok, if you wan't to be so strictly tied to some (official?)
    defs format I see no point in even modifying the generator
    temporarely because it would be one-time benefit only and no
    gain at all. I'll override them all then.

That's not what I meant. :) Modify the generator, then use it to generate C code that you'll be able to paste into .overrides. This way you avoid having to do them manually.

    Can I now savely assume to return an array for I/O parameters?

Yes. -Andrei
