Hi,
currently we don't use G_PARAM_STATIC_(NAME|NICK|BLURB) anywhere when
installing a property. When using string literals or static strings this would
save use one allocation and one free for every string.

Does anybody see problems with this? For the docs see
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-GParamSpec.html#GParamFlags


Also I would propose to add

#ifndef G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS
#define G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS (G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME | G_PARAM_STATIC_NICK |
G_PARAM_STATIC_BLURB)
#endif

as for most cases all 3 strings should be static and G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS was
added to glib with 2.13 (and we will depend only on 2.12 in a few days).
