I have been in touch with the people on LSB and they are ok with the
idea of maintaining their version of gtvts (currently covering gtk+ 2.6
API) on GNOME cvs.

Maybe we should just show what we have. It would be easier for GTK+
people to give feedback if we show in an "easy way" these tests. We can
for example do a quick hack to integrate the a gtkvts check version onto
an installation of jhautobuild or thinderbox, with the nice green/red
results.
