I sthere any reason why I can't build gtk-- libraries with gnome support? Do
we need two versions? Why would we need a version without gnome support?
About the gtk+ version to use:
>From the release notes page:
"NOTE! Its now a policy that gtk-- works with 1.0.x gtk+'s and only gtk+1.1
from the CVS. Thus to use gtk1.1, you will want to have both gtk+ and gtk-- from
CVS!"
So Gtk-- 0.9.x will be build with the stable release of gtk+.

Could you please talk to me about this? I assume both will be build from the
same sources, so it does make sense to just include the rules for them in my
packaging scripts.
