I think so. Some important bugfixes were committed since
lablgtk-2.4.0, so I think it would be a good time for a snapshot. I'm
mostly through missing 2.4 functionality, and I was beginning to wrap
the new 2.6 widgets.

What should we do about Glib.Io.add_watch ? Also before the snapshot
I'd like to add the gtkspell interface and a file detailing the API
changes.

Another compatibility problem is with ocaml 3.06 : the
Glib.Message.log function has a format4 argument which was introduced
in ocaml 3.07.

 > And I suppose you've checked 2.6.

Well, 2.6 is not released yet (it's planned for december). Maybe I
should revert what I've done so far (only 2 widgets). Incompatible API
changes are possible between the development releases (2.5) and the
stable ones, so we could end up with some code that doesn't build with
the final 2.6 GTK.
