Cannot compile gtk+-0.99.9

[Joachim Backes <backes rhrk uni-kl de>]

Hi, All,

I have problems to compile gtk+-0.99.9 under IRIX 6.4 with the standard
C compiler (not gnuc!).

There are 2 lines in glib/testglib.c which cannot be compiled:

   399    print_compare ("Schlo\201ß", "Schlo");
   400    print_compare ("\201Äffchen", "\201Öfchen");

It seems to be that "\201" is not valid for the C compiler:

I have commented out these 2 lines.
