ANNOUNCE: Pre-release code in CVS

Hello everybody! Long time no see! For delight of the users, and 
disappointment of the skeptics, gtkextra still is alive and kicking! It 
is true that it took a while, but the code is practically ready. I only 
need some feedback to test for bugs, and I will appreciate all your help.
The changes are many, and I will list the most important ones:

- gtkplot axes are GtkObjects, and you have to set the attributes with 
the proper methods (check test programs and headers)
- gtkplot data arrays are also GtkObjects calles GtkPlotArray. Again, 
check test programs.
- gtkplotcanvas items (rectangles, ellipse, arrow, pixmaps, text) are 
also GtkObjects, take a look at testgtkplotcanvas.c
- added a new data style: gtkplotsegment, that draws lines joining two 
points. Useful for drawing maps!
- UTF support for gtkextra-2 using pango (for some reason I'm still 
having some trouble with the pango aliases, I will appreciate some help 
here -- check testgtkfont)

These are the most important changes. The API will freeze after the 
official release.
I will be waiting for your reports and questions and I will release as 
soon as things converge.

As usual, the code is available from CVS. Tha packages are gtkextra and 
gtkextra-2

Help: I will appreciate some help with the following topics:
- pango aliases: check testgtkfont, and tell me if you are able to 
render the correct fonts. I doesn't work very well for me.
- automake-1.7. I haven't been able to do "make release", I guess 
something is broken in the automake files.

Thanks you for you patience, and enjoy!
Saludos,
<ADRIAN>
