Right now would be a good time to actually define what is included in
this "Hildon" anyway...

While in the context of GTK+, the answer is probably "the Hildon
widgets", the url pointed to by Carlos includes *loads* of other
stuff, like the Sapwood theme engine and gnomevfs stuff, as well as
the rewrite of maemo-af-desktop.

So perhaps some list of things actually thought to be developed within
the Hildon project should be created, to help with grasping what all
we are talking about here exactly.
