Hi Alexey,

slgtkdatabox-0.3 has been tested with slang-2.1.3 and slgtk-0.7.2 and 0.7.3
Slirp is used for bindings generation from C header files. You don't need
it to build and load modules.

"make test" is a Slirp generated test that only try to import the module
that have just been built. In this very case, it fail because no attempt
is made to load the required gtk module. Maybe I should fix this.
You should try to run any example from examples directory or load the
module this way after installing it :
require ("gtkdatabox");
It will automatically load the required gtk module.

Feel free to ask for more details if needed.
