I've quickly looked at some XS sources because since I'm author
of some code you kept, I was curious to see what Copyright
mentions would be used :). They seem to not contain any copyright
or license reference. I humbly think this is dangerous and should
be fixed (and probably this is also illegal because it contains
GPL code which can't be unlicensed).

Just to make things clear: I don't request that my name would be
inserted in source-code. However, I think that legally it should
be needed. From a practical point, in old-gtk2-perl we've used
copyrights with the name of the first person who introduced a
given source-file in the cvs, which is not stricly legal neither,
but I guess it was easy for us to do so. I've noticed my name in
Glib.pm and it's already enough to fulfill my pathologically
oversized ego :).

Compiling, newbie mode engaged.

Glib: ok

Gtk2:

[gc bi ~/rpm/tmp/Gtk2-0.20] perl Makefile.PL

Since I'm in newbie mode, I don't go further :).

Hm I've never made any gtk2-perl release yet (Goran did them) and
I feel gtk2-perl-xs is yours, so I'd prefer you do so. I've added
you enough sourceforge rights to do so (I didn't know it was not
available for "developers").
