ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 1.3.22

[Murray Cumming <murrayc usa net>]

*** gtkmm2

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This development branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 2.0.x.

We are now seriously pushing for a binary API frozen 2.0 release. There
are no known API issues apart from these, which will be punted to some
future version:

*** Changes

* Win32:
  - Don't include strings.h on Win32.
  - Use -fnative-struct, as used by GTK+ DLLs.
  - Install win32 import libraries.
  (Naofumi Yasufuku)
  - Don't try to register non-wrapped classes. (Murray Cumming)

* Sun Forte build fixes. (Michael v. Szombathely)

API breakage:
* pangomm:
  - Added Rectangle, Language, Color, Item, Glyph, Attributes, Attr, AttrItem.
  - Used these wrappers in other class methods.
  - Added some wrapper methods.
  (Martin Schulze)
  Excuse for breakage: pangomm isn't used much directly so this shouldn't break much.
* Added Gdk::Window::set_cursor(void) to reset the cursor. (Murray Cumming)
  Excuse: It's additional API so it doesn't break anything.
