that is the plan, win32 and other binaries available for download after 
the code stabilizes.

gavin was working per the stuff i posted to the list on compiling 
against the dropline gtk binaries, which appear to have some missing 
symbols.  he was planning to get an installer-based package going.

marc has told me that he has no problems using gtk2-perl out of cvs 
with tml's binaries, though i can't confirm this myself.

i originally looked into making an activestate PPM package from my 
working win32 build, but i never got a package that would install.  not 
quite sure what the problem was, as i'm no expert on PPM packaging and 
have no real desire to become one.  anybody who knows, please speak up!


i was planning to use james' debian control files to try to create a 
fink package, but there's no standard build of perl 5.8.0 for macos 
10.2.x, so i haven't done it.
