To clarify, this means you're targetting Gtk+-2.10 for Gnome 2.16, right?

Why are you unable to comply with that one -- what would be difficult
about putting the API/ABI stable bindings into one package and putting
the other bindings in a separate one?  Wouldn't it just mean that
people who want to use the extra bindings install both packages?  I
feel like I'm missing something because I would have assumed this was
the easiest requirement to comply with (though I'm obviously no expert
in the area...)
