ANNOUNCE: gnomemm 1.3.4

[murrayc t-online de (Murray Cumming)]

*** gnomemm

The libgnome*mm libraries wrap the GNOME2 libraries for C++, for use
with gtkmm2. They are collectively known as gnomemm. This release should work 
with the 'GNOME 2.0 Desktop Beta 3: "La lluvia en Sevilla es una maravilla"' release. 

libgnomeuimm wraps libgnomeui for C++.
libgnomecanvasmm wraps libgnomecanvas for C++.
libgnomemm wraps libgnome for C++.
gconfmm wraps GConf for C++.

We have also provided gnomemm as one umbrella package, gnomemm-all, for your 
convenience. This is experimental.
