Thanks. This was the reason. The wrapping is not yet finished, but it's
going on. What is the current policy. Do you prefer the mm wrapper
library to stay on the authors website or do you centralize it in the
gtkmm SVN?

Would you think someone from this list would review the wrapper if it's
running to be sure no wrapper newbie mistakes are done?
