Mmm, perhaps I've misunderstood horribly then. We're _not_ already using
the GNOME 2.0 API (that would be daft) and don't expect to in the near
future. But I would expect that (at some future point) I could compile
our current source against the Gnome 2.0 compatiblity libraries and have
it work just the same as against the main Gnome 1.4 libraries. If this
isn't the point of libcompat, then I've missed something completely...
(what then is the point?)
