Sure.

I guess the most "tricky" part is define a proper type for the "data"
type itself, so that it is usable by end users.

What did you choose to do ?

I guess this is similar to Gtk.Pixmap.Create_Pixmap (Chars_Ptr_Array),
so you probably did the same thing.

As for Gtk.Pimxpa.Create_Prixmap.

Sure, that would be a welcome contribution.

Do not forget to remove the last 3 lines of gdk-pixbuf.ads in your patch.
