Looks fine, and indeed a bit more structured than the current one.
Not removing old releases was just out of pure laziness...

About the contents:

* related libraries should probably include cairo-ocaml
	http://www.cairographics.org/cairo-ocaml/
  but Olivier could be more specific about the relation

* the application list is short, so I see no reason to move it to a different page
  (but it could be more exhaustive, justifying the separation)

* the "not updated" comment about GTK+-1 support just reflects the fact there
  is nothing to update (there were releases after 2003, particularly for windows)
  So I would rather write "Legacy GTK+-1 support" without comment.
