Folks, these gtk guys are on bad drugs (well, that's not sucha |
| 16 |
new enlightenment ;-o) ... |

a) gtk-printer backends are separate *shared* libraries, which |
| 19 |
are loaded somewhere at runtime. absolutely no need to ship |
| 20 |
and build them within the gtk+ tree |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
b) the whole gtk-printer api might be a nice thing (even i just |
| 23 |
have a dozen of better solutions at the tip of my head ;-o), |
| 24 |
but I can't see any technical reasons for having that all |
| 25 |
within a widget toolkit, instead of a separate library. |
