I will try to fix this.

Ok.

I'm not sure that Gtk 3 is working correctly on Windows so I don't think 
it makes sense to add this to all project wizard templates. But indeed 
one sample of a command program would be nice and quite easy to write. 
Do you know other example?

I think editing those files manually is probably the best solution as it 
would be difficult to write a GUI for all autotools features.
