ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.10.0

[Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>]

*** gtkmm 2.10:

gtkmm 2.10 wraps new API in GTK+ 2.10, and is API/ABI-compatibile with gtkmm 2.8, 
2.6 and 2.4. It is a version of the gtkmm-2.4 API.

gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule:
http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

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