autogenerates the enumeration types (GEnum and GFlags) from the headers,
like glib-genmarshal autogenerates the marshallers functions for the
signals.

since GLib 2.12, the glib-mkenums script can also use template files,
making the shell calls much shorter; GTK+ recently migrated to them, and
so did other projects (like Clutter) because of the maintainability
gains.
