A while back I put together a little harness intended to help me get 
started with features extracted from TestGTK.

Having found something useful (e.g. na example of a scrolling text 
window), this harness lets you extract that one feature from testgtk and 
build it as a simple standalone application, focussing ONLY on the 
selected feature.

It's a starting point for working with it and incorporating it into your 
own code.

Probably no interest to experienced Gtkada programmers, but I found it 
helpful as a beginner.
