GtkMM examples run fine.

I tried to derive a simple dialog from Gtk::Dialog and it works
without any problem.  However Inkscape uses a different approach to
create dialogs (dialog factory, static create() function, etc.),  I am
not sure.

On the other hand, I succesfully obtained an working Inkscape using
GCC.  I have to build and use static libraries of glibmm, gtkmm, along
with some other C++ libraries that are required by Inkscape.  During
the build I saw a lot of warnings about data alignment though.

Thanks for the help.
