*** gtkmm and glibmm 2.5/2.6

gtkmm 2.5 wraps new API in GTK+ 2.5, and is API/ABI-compatibile with gtkmm 2.4. 
The new API is unstable, until this become the API/ABI-stable gtkmm 2.6 when 
GTK+ 2.5 becomes the API-stable GTK+ 2.6.

gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule:

Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also 
API-stable.
