This utility generates source code from XML files. Its aim is to convert XML files (dynamic data) to C++ files (static structures) that can be checked in compile-time. There are three areas of interest:

To create ui::Widgets subclasses from data/widgets/*.xml files. In this way we can create wrappers that can access to each XML file directly in a easier way (e.g. one member for each widget with an id parameter on it).
To create configuration wrappers from a special config-metadata.xml file (so we can replace get/set_config_int/bool/string() function calls). There is an ongoing cfg module to replace the whole reading/writing operations of user's settings/preferences.
To create a wrapper class for theme data access. From data/skins/default/ we can create a C++ class with a member function to access each theme slice, color, style, etc.
