OK; although I think there should be two levels of this,
GNOME_DISABLE_DEPRECATED and GNOME_ENABLE_COMPAT (where you have to
explicitly ask for really old stuff). Havoc, woudl you mind posting
the Gtk deprecation policy you posted on gtk-devel-list a while back
so we can consider using a similar policy for gnome-libs?
