I wrote some D code that parses a glade interface file and 
converts it in to easily accessible D code.

You use the ID field in glade to specify the D object name.

Go to github's gtkD to find a reference to it in issues. It's not 
perfect and might require a little work figuring it out but it 
works out nice once you get it set up.

It's basically used like

class App : GtkBase!("Interface.Glade")
{
...
}

and then App will have all the objects ID's as objects.

e.g., if you have a label in the glade interface with ID label, 
then

App.label

is the gtkD object for that label.
