There was never a "native" OS/2 port, just some work so that
GTK+ for X could be compiled for OS/2.

Even that wasn't done properly ... #ifdef __EMX__ scattered 
throughout GTK+ rather than doing the work properly in GLib, 
so it was eventually removed. (*)

My gut instinct is that we'd be pretty unlikely to take patches
at this point even if done properly; there hasn't been a 
flicker of interest in the last 5 years so the potential user
base must be pretty small.

(*) Admittedly, it was done before the Win32 port, so we didn't
    yet have a good idea of what "properly" meant.
