I have downloaded them for safety. I am a bit reluctant to put binary
packages on gtkmm.org until
- I am sure that they will be maintained in future. Isn't there some central
repository for things like this?
- The build process is documented. I would like a README.MacOSX, like our
current README.win32 and README.SUN
- I see that you have at least tried to get libtool fixed instead of
patching it locally.

I do appreciate your efforts, but I don't want them to be wasted.
