The Unison code base is one: it needs to compile from sources as easily
as possible on a wide range of systems, so it would be bad if it required
GTK 2 before it becomes widely used and installed by default on most
people's boxes.

However, we're not actively developing the UI these days, so it would be
enough if there were a LablGTK branch that stayed compatible with GTK 1.2
and that was maintained just enough to track new OCaml releases.
