7 Have you actually visited http://www.gtk.org??! The 2.0 release
8 announcement, the migration guide, the download page, pretty much
9 everything makes it clear that gtk2 is the newer version of the _same_
10 library, not a completely different project. Indeed, even their CVS
11 repository only has a "gtk" directory, not "gtk1" and "gtk2".
