They did not rename it to 'kar'? SCNR :)

I will leave this up to Paul.

Anyway, IMHO additional information regarding gar are a pretty good
idea. :)  Although personally I would prefer a separate file (README.gar
maybe?) to not bloat the actual README. Additional, verbose details are
a great thing if you already got going, but it likely will scare a lot
of folks trying to build GARNOME the first time.

Nope, GARNOME 2.9.4 isn't released yet. The arch repository already
incorporates some (most?) of the GNOME 2.9.4 releases, though.

FWIW, although the GNOME 2.9.4 release was scheduled for yesterday, I
haven't seen the announcement yet -- thus I consider it not being
released yet. :)

If you are subscribed to this list, you will be noticed about GARNOME
releases by Paul, as soon as they are out (as tarball).
