Well, we are very much in the process of finishing off the last
few API changes before freezing for 2.0, so we hope to keep
changes minimal to non-existant after this week.

But its quite possible that HEAD GLib is not going to work perfectly
with gtk-1-3-win32-production: there is a lot of work that has gone on
since the branchpoint of the gtk-1-3-win32-production tree.

If someone wanted to do the work to identify a date to branch at do
the work of porting fixes after that date to the branch, I wouldn't
object if they did that work in the repostory.

I would, however, think it would be good if development efforts on the
Win32 port focused on getting HEAD up to speed ... in the end
gtk-1-3-win32-production is a dead end, and people won't
be writing applications for GTK+-1.2 or for that in the future.
