I know almost nothing about MacOS X packaging, but I'm slightly concerned
that you are not using the Fink system that I've heard is popular. For
instance, If Fink distributes a GTK+ package, and darwinports distributes a
GTK+ package, will they clash?

Do you want to host it, or do you want gtkmm.org to host it?

If there are any patches required then I'd like to see them in bugzilla. Do
you still need the patch that you posted here?:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93412
Of course that was in response to an Apple gcc bug, but it looks like we
have no way to track their bugs. Do we just have to hope that they will fix
it in the next release without any sign that they are doing that?

And I think you needed to patch the generated libtool files, so I'd like to
see some communication with the libtool maintainers about that.
