neoGFX automatic UI code generation

[Mr Flibble]

Hi!

Here is a taste (actual output which compiles) of what neoGFX auto code
gen looks like (the UI is described using a variant of "Relaxed JSON"):-

// This is an automatically generated file, do not edit!

Again:

actionCheckForUpdates.set_checkable(false);
actionCheckForUpdates.set_image(":/closed/resources/caw_toolbar.naa#setup.png");
pageFoo.tab().set_image(image{ ":/test/resources/channel.png" });
pageBar.tab().set_image(image{ ":/test/resources/channel.png" });
}
};
