[gtkmm] ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.2.9

[Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>]

*** gtkmm 2.2

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. gtkmm 2.2 wraps GTK+ 2.2
http://www.gtkmm.org

This is the stable branch. gtkmm 2.3.x is also available, and can be installed in parallel.

*** Changes

2.2.9:

* Build:
  - Removed DISABLE_DEPRECATED macros so that gtkmm 2.2 
  can build with GTK+ 2.3.x. I didn't release this previously
  because previous versions of GTK+ 2.3.x were broken with 
  gtkmm, but it's OK now. (Murray Cumming)
  - Removed unnecessary namespace qualification to fix build
  with the Intel compiler. (Takashi Takekawa)
* Glib::ObjectBase: The default constructor, never before used,
  now generates a custom GType, for use when creating new
  implementations of Glib::Interfaces - for instance, see the
  new custom tree model example in gtkmm.
  (Murray Cumming)
* examples: Added treecustommodel example, though it's much 
  better in gtkmm 2.4. (Murray Cumming, Christof Pettig)
* documentation:
  - Corrected name and install location of devhelp file.
  - Fixed some documentation that mentinod freeing C objects.
  - Added docs/internals/gtk_patches.txt with URLs of some
    patches/bugs that were needed to underlying libraries,
    as a clue for future developers.
    (Murray Cumming)
* spec file: Added devhelp file. (Eric Bourque)
