Re: platform support

["ahmet alper parker" <aaparker gmail com>]

thanks for your kind comment Calum, so this means I can distribute a runtime
of gtk+ (or the necessary files (dll's, etc.)) on almost any environment if
I pack it with my application. This is the good news. So i don't have to pay
for qt then. The only reason for choosing qt may be look and feel (native).
Very good :) I must decide that...
Thanks for all
