Of course, there is nothing stopping you from creating signals without a 
class implementation (ie. class_offset=0 or class_closure=NULL), or 
using a class closure other than the signal cclosure that is usually 
used for signals.  Each of which don't require extending the class vtable.

Registering new classes using the information from g_type_query() works 
fine (I do it in my python bindings for instance).
