* gdk/Screen.custom : manually implement FontOptions property so
	we can use reflection to access the internal Mono.Cairo ctor.
	* gdk/Gdk.metadata : list marshaling, method-to-property renames,
	and some hides form manual implementation.  Hide 
	gdk_atom_intern_static_string wrapper since it is pointless outside
	the context of C code.

<Docs>
<summary>
Get an iterator for displaying an animation. The iterator provides
the frames that should be displayed at a given time.
It should be freed after use with g_object_unref().
</summary>
<param name="start_time">A <see cref="T:IntPtr" /></param>
<returns>A <see cref="T:Gdk.PixbufAnimationIter" /> to move over the animation</returns>
<remarks>
<p>
<paramref name="start_time" /> would normally come from
g_get_current_time() (FIXME: this function isn't bound into C#;
this needs a look), and
marks the beginning of animation playback. After creating an
iterator, you should immediately display the pixbuf returned by
<see cref="P:Gdk.PixbufAnimationIter.Pixbuf" />. Then, you should install a
timeout (with g_timeout_add() (FIXME)) or by some other mechanism ensure
that you'll update the image after
<see cref="P:Gdk.PixbufAnimation.DelayTime" /> milliseconds. Each time
the image is updated, you should reinstall the timeout with the new,
possibly-changed delay time.
</p>
<p>
As a shortcut, if <paramref name="start_time" /> is <see langword="null" />, the result of
g_get_current_time() will be used automatically.
</p>
<p>
To update the image (i.e. possibly change the result of
gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_get_pixbuf() to a new frame of the animation),
call gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_advance().
</p>
<p>
If you're using <see cref="T:Gdk.PixbufLoader" />, in addition
to updating the image
after the delay time, you should also update it whenever you
receive the area_updated signal and
<see cref="M:Gdk.PixbufAnimationIter.OnCurrentlyLoadingFrame" /> returns
true. In this case, the frame currently being fed into the loader
has received new data, so needs to be refreshed. The delay time for
a frame may also be modified after an
<see cref="E:Gdk.PixbufLoader.AreaUpdated" /> signal, for
example if the delay time for a frame is encoded in the data after
the frame itself. So your timeout should be reinstalled after any
<see cref="E:Gdk.PixbufLoader.AreaUpdated" /> signal.
</p>
<p>
A delay time of -1 is possible, indicating "infinite."
