Hi,

Updating that architecture diagram is a bit of a pain, and definitely
not a 5 minute job. Last time I updated it (and I don't know if you
noticed, but it has been updated), it took me an entire afternoon to get
the bounding boxes lined up right. Those embedded links to the different
projects are done very nicely, but quite trickily - here's the HTML source:

<div id="archmap">
    <ul>
      <li><a id="capi" href="http://www.gtk.org/"; title="C API">C

    </ul>

  </div> <!-- end of archmap -->

And here's the corresponding CSS:
