OK. Looks like it's A fast moving target (as well that all the tools it depends on),
like it refused to compile with hamm guile/gtk, so I guess have to release the first

For what I have (Briefly) examined, it seeems that QT and GTK are fundamentaly similar,
so when GTK comes mainstream, it will be easy for them to port their stuff to GTK.

Are you sure you want to advertisize packages that don't even run on Hamm? Relax, time
is on our side (in this case:). I'll try to release something before I leave for weekend.
