OK, we will report on our experiments.

BTW, I guess nobody has really tried to build Gtk+ 1.3 on systems other
than Linux (and possibly Windows since Tor has been doing changes frequently),
or the build incantions are kept very secret, since we tried to build Gtk+ 1.3.3
under Solaris and ended up with the following ugly set of commands, and
we finally could not build Gtk+ because of xim issues (and using
--dissable-xim didn't seem to help).
