Thanks for the info.  I've managed to create an ebuild so I can emerge  
gtkspell3-3.0.0 on Gentoo, and have successfully used it to build  
balsa.  Now I'll have to see if I'm ready to try gtk 3.6.  In case any  
other Gentoo users care, I've posted the ebuild to the Gentoo Forums at  
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-943352.html.  One note - I had to  
download the tarball manually, since I couldn't translate the ebuild  
SRC_URI to get it.
