I was thinking it might be neater to keep garnome stuff with my other
installed source built stuff.

Currently, I install in /usr/local/garnome-XXX and have a symlink
/usr/local/garnome that points to the version I'm running.

You're probably right, I may as well keep it the same...

I was looking at ways to manage the G2 apps that I build that aren't
part of garnome.  I started to install them via stow but it's probably a
waste of time as I probably need to recompile with any updates to
garnome since core stuff like GTK+ is usually updated.

Anyway, enough rambling...
