Well, that's ok, it happens. Is that an open day for the 'weberei'

I might; I have the basics for autogen.sh/configure.in sorta working.
I'm a bit 'uneasy' about supporting Gnome-1.0, 1.4 and 2.0 at the same
time. The code is turning quite ugly.

Gnomemm-2 has the tendency to put everything in separate libraries as
well as separate namespaces. Though cleaner in design, it's a big deviation
from the 'old' situation.

I'll look into it, once I get an ordinary test-app to compile cleanly,
without gettext support.

Ack; I'll look into your code, and see how much adaption it needs for 
gnomemm.
