if anyone is willing to move the documentation into the source-files
and edit it with e.g javadoc-keywords (and other keywords as
needed), I'll customise the relatively unannouced SDS-project
(http://sds.sourceforge.net/) to support gtk-preferences directly if
someone will give feedback in the process.  SDS has a documentation
backend which supports Docbook and also have several mechanisms that
make it suitable for doing non-trivial queries on the source as gtk
may need.  SDS will in the process create xml-representations of the
gtk-source which may also be used for other purposes and programs.
currently SDS is semi-working for C, but with the mentioned
assistance on the source it can be brought up to the quality gtk
needs.
