We appreciate the new releases.  But based on several other posts here, I 
think a web page that shows a more detailed listing of all the g* lib 
requirements for each gtkmm release would be most helpful - with a bunch of 
gtk and gtkmm releases, and different availability on different distros, it 
is getting difficult to make sure we have a matching lib set.  I'm even 
having trouble figuring out what to apt-get on a machine right now.
