I had thought of that and it seemed to me that if I could minimize the
number of external files required during runtime it would be 'neater'

Essentially what I want is that when I type make (after configure)
before the actual compile starts it would run a script that would
generate ui.h (which contains the Glade UI in a string). So the question
is - how/what do I need to edit in configure.in such that the resultant
Makefile under src would call my script before actually compiling.
