OK, I'm maybe abusing the thread a little here, but the main reason why
I would love to see gtksourceview get into GTK+ is that it would make it
easier for win32 pyGTK developers to get it through such packages as the
ones found on http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net
This way, you wouldn't need to fight with mingw32, cygwin or what not,
just to port your pyGTK Linux app to Windows.
