I did the same, modulo additions that are not generated by h2def.py,
such as default values. On that topic: we should write a .defs merge
tool sometime, which takes two .defs files and produces a superset of
them, asking the user for resolution of conflicts...

Yeah, feel free to patch the ignore-glob away.

I think I reinroduced most of the hand-removed functions in upgrading
the .defs to GTK 2.4. I think I introduced ignore overrides for those
that didn't make sense, but am not sure now.

I'd merge the old and new .defs, so you can keep manual additions.
